Taylor vs Serrano 3 live: Start time, undercard, fight updates and results from historic trilogy clash

Independent12-07-2025
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will fight one last time tonight, as they round out a historic boxing trilogy – one of the most important the sport has ever seen.
In 2022, in the biggest women's fight of all time, Irish icon Taylor narrowly outpointed the Puerto Rican star at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Then, in November 2024, she repeated the result with another tight decision victory over Serrano – this time in AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
Taylor vs Serrano 2, thanks to its platform on Netflix, became the most-watched sporting event in US history with 55 million viewers. Now, the rivals return to Netflix and to Madison Square Garden, with Serrano, 36, aiming to finally get one over on Taylor, 39.
'The fact is I am 2-0 against her,' said Olympic champion Taylor, who defends the undisputed super-lightweight titles against Serrano tonight, as she did in November. 'Opinions are opinions, but facts are facts. I'm just sick of the complaining and whining from your team. The only thing that matters is that I'm 2-0 against her. I plan on staying unbeaten against her.'
And there will be a stacked undercard for two-weight undisputed champ Taylor and seven-weight queen Serrano. The likes of Alycia Baumgardner, Savannah Marshall, Chantelle Cameron, Ellie Scotney and Shadasia Green are in action tonight.
Countdown to Taylor vs Serrano 3
We're less than 40 minutes away from the trilogy bout we've all been dreaming about!
Katie Taylor. Amanda Serrano. It's a guaranteed barnburner.
Tens of millions of viewers, seven-figure paydays, and numerous world titles are just fragments of one of sport's most important rivalries. Alex Pattle delves deeper into the duo that have transcended women's boxing:

Taylor vs Serrano 3 live: What a moment for Shadasia Green
'I'm so sorry, this is 20 years, man - 20 years,' she says, weeping in the ring with her unified belts.
'I was 15 years old, and I wanted to box, and I started with this man right here. My mother told me no, told me to go to college, but told me that if I brought my degree back, I could pursue boxing.
'Twenty years later, we unified. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, with joy. These guys pushed me to my limit this camp. I got beat up every day in sparring and I know it was worth it because Savannah Marshall is f***ing phenomenal.'

Taylor vs Serrano 3 live: Savannah Marshall fumes at the scorecards
Savannah Marshall is not taking that defeat lightly.
Fuming at the judges, she says: 'Take nothing away from Shadasia, she was wonderful. I've never been hit like that before. Even with a point off, you've given me two rounds. How is that fair? All I wanted was a fair fight.'
MSG do not take her complaints well as boos ring around the arena.

Round 10
As she has the entire fight, Green is happy to bide her time and pick powerful shots when she so pleases.
Marshall is looking for something special but she's seriously tiring, with Green catching her with a big combo to send her on the retreat!
She has her on the ropes as Green finishes with a flurry, snapping her head backwards one time more for good measure.

Round eight
Marshall is putting Green under pressure, forcing her to the ropes but the American is doing well to get out and avoid any real damage from being taken.
It's in the centre of the ring where Marshall gets some joy. She connects nicely with a body shot, before just dodging a big right hook that goes high.
Green gestures with a slit throat. She's going for the kill.
Round nine
Nice combination from Marshall hurts her opponent, but Green responds with a powerful shot of her own to send the Brit backwards.
There doesn't seem much she can do to knock the Paterson bruiser out of kilter.

Round six
Marshall is trying to fight back after seeing the tide turn firmly in Green's favour. But as she goes for big shots, she's leaving herself exposed to be picked apart by the Green jab.
Huge overhand from Green is evaded as the round comes to a close.
Round seven
A less eventful round until the final 30 seconds, as Green starts firing from the hip from the corner. Even when against the ropes, it's the American whose looking more threatening.

Round five
The fourth gets underway and IMMEDIATELY Marshall finds herself in trouble! Green lands shot after shot and has her up covering up against the ropes as the crowd reaches fever pitch!
Marshall keeps on her feet and tries to respond with a nice one-two, but Green has found her groove, snapping Marshall's head back once more to see out the round.
The most damage done in the fight so far.

Round three
Marshall is looking lively. She's dodging Green's haymakers well and coming in the follow up to do damage.
There's suddenly a stark reminder of what Green can do when she connects, however. Two hefty left hooks land flush on the face of Green, halting the Hartlepool girl's push forward, but Marshall is able to eat both without showing too much sign of weakness.
Round four
Both start come out for the fourth wit intent as Green's aggression rouses the crowd. She hurts Marshall with a body shot but the Brit responds, chipping away in the clinch.
Green then gets a point deducted for holding, for which she lets out her anger by cracking Marshall with a headshot, which evoked a 'yeh, that hurt' smile from the Brit.

Taylor vs Serrano 3 live: Savannah Marshall vs Shadasia Green
Round one
Marshall right hook from close catches Green before she moves back, wary of not pushing too fast too soon.
She's content with finding her range until Green moves in swinging wildly, from which she connects to stun Marshall.
Other than that, little to report from the first.
Round two
Gloves lock up early into the second round as both bizarrely struggled to separate. Green is still going for these big overhands but Marshall is evading.
The round ends with Green receiving a talking to from the ref, to the dismay of the crowd.

David Clifford hopeful Jack O'Connor will continue as Kerry manager in 2026

Kerry star David Clifford is hopeful Jack O'Connor will continue as manager in 2026 after guiding them to the All-Ireland. Following their All-Ireland final win over Donegal, O'Connor, who is in his third spell in charge, hinted his time in charge could be coming to an end. Advertisement Having won several All-Ireland's, O'Connor is yet to win back-to-back titles, and Clifford hopes he will be around next season to get his hands on Sam Maguire once again. "It would be great if we could keep it the same way it was for last year. "I thought we had a brilliant set-up so hopefully they'll figure things out.". A year in which questions were raised about Kerry, the Kingdom were the deserved winners after a convincing win over Donegal in July, which followed wins over fellow Ulster sides Cavan, Armagh, and Tyrone. Advertisement After their final group stage game, which was a shock defeat to Meath, pundits and former players had their doubts over Kerry. However, those questions were answered following an emphatic second half win performance over Armagh, which Clifford says was important after the dfeeat to Meath "It was pointless having the Armagh performance if we didn't back it up. That was a big motivation for us. "The Armagh performance was great, but we had to back it up in the next two games. The way the season was structured, it nearly felt like we didn't deserve to have a second chance. Advertisement "We had the home game against Cavan, so it wasn't the end of the world in that sense. The fact it was week on week, we didn't have much time to reflect. We had a game the following week, so you couldn't feel sorry for yourself. "We were bad against Meath, if we produced another performance like that we wouldn't have been winning. We were miles off it in terms of physicality and aggression. It just felt like we were flat coming into the game. "We let people down. We let our management down, we let the Kerry supporters down. So we were disappointed." At the age of 26, Clifford is viewed already by some as the greatest to ever play the sport. Advertisement With two Player of the Year awards in the last three years, and in line for a third in October, the awards and trophies are likely to keep coming for the Kerry forward. However, just like everyone else, Clifford has moments where he doubts about himself. "You have doubts every day, 'am I still good enough?' I think everybody has those. It's natural to have doubts in all walks of life." Contributing to Clifford's season was the new rules, which allowed him to score two points and give him more space in vital moments of games. In a successful season under the new rules, the Kerry forward says he enjoyed playing under them, while also enjoyed watching so many forwards have a good season. "I thought they were very enjoyable, I thought they were very enjoyable. "There was a lot more space, more kick passing. I thought fowardsa played well this year, so that is obviously great for me. I enjoyed it."

Haveron 'shock' at Rooney's departure from Larne

Larne interim manager Gary Haveron has told BBC Sport NI that "shock" was his primary emotion on hearing the news that the club's previous boss Nathan Rooney had parted company with the Irish Premiership club on had been put in temporary control of first-team matters for the second half of last season after it emerged that Rooney did not possess the necessary qualifications to lead the team into European Englishman was reinstated as manager in May after enrolling for his Uefa Pro Licence, with Haveron reverting to the position of assistant manager, but the Larne native will now take the helm for a second spell at his hometown club before a permanent appointment is made."Shock was my initial reaction whenever I got the call to say what had happened. I think that was the initial reaction of everyone at the club," said Haveron."Stability is really important now and hopefully that's what I can bring to the club for the time being, just get round the boys and support them."We've got a fantastic set of players at the club and the infrastructure is absolutely first class. It has been a turbulent 12 months but we're looking to move into calmer waters and hopefully I can help in that respect in the coming weeks."Haveron added that he was happy to step into the breach again following Rooney's exit."When the call came in and I was asked 'was I prepared to step in', the answer will always be 'yes'. I do what I can to support the club in any way, shape or form."It's obviously a big job in terms of the Irish League and a really attractive proposition for someone out there if that's what the club want to do."While I'm here it's my job to prepare the team, to get them organised and hopefully get the results on the football pitch."
