Katie Taylor's net worth set for huge boost after Amanda Serrano fight
Katie Taylor is expected to see her net worth sore yet again after her third showdown with long-time rival Amanda Serrano.
The boxing stars are once again set to make history as they headline a stacked all-women's boxing card at Madison Square Garden in New York. Taylor holds all the bragging rights after emerging victorious in the first two outings. The Bray brawler edged a stunning split decision victory in the first clash back in 2022.
Taylor and Serrano met for a second time last November on the undercard of Jake Paul's heavyweight dust-up with Mike Tyson. Once again, the Irish star scored a victory on points. Following their two iconic fights, many fans believed Serrano did enough to at least win one fight.
That said, as they meet again on Friday night, Taylor and Serrano are set to earn record-setting paydays. According to the 'Real Deal,' both she and the undisputed super lightweight champion will be getting the biggest paydays of their careers this time around.
Taylor - an Olympic gold medallist - is reported to have a net worth in the region of $5million (£3.6m). However, it looks set to be much higher after she pocketed $6.1m (£4.4m) from her second showdown with Serrano - even after accounting for the tax and other deductibles due on that fee.
Throughout her illustrious career so far, Taylor has put pen-to-paper on a whole host of lucrative sponsorships, including brand deals with the Bank of Ireland, Toyota, Sky, Adidas and Lucozade. Last month, it was announced that the Irish star penned a multi-year deal with Champion. The partnership includes a limited-edition KT Reverse Weave t-shirt which pays tribute to her extraordinary career, as well as a bespoke fight kit and team gear for the Serrano encounter
'Every boxer dreams of being a Champion and I was no different as a child. I've been lucky enough to realise those dreams over the years in the amateurs at world level and the Olympics and now as a professional boxer in becoming a two weight Undisputed Champion so to partner with Champion just seems like the perfect fit,' said Taylor.
She continued: 'Champion is such an iconic brand and known around the world. It has such a rich history in sport going back over one hundred years so it's fantastic to partner with them. I'm really excited to be hands-on in helping to develop Champion's boxing range by drawing on my own experience in the sport and helping to create a product range that lives up to the Champion name and our shared values.'
When is Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano?
The historic showdown is set to take place at the Madison Square Garden in New York. The main undercard is due to get underway at around 1am BST on Saturday (5pm PT / 7pm CT / 8pm ET on Friday). In the main event, Serrano will make the walk to the ring first at around 4am BST on Saturday (8pm PT / 10pm CT / 11pm ET on Friday) with Taylor set to follow immediately after. The two stars will then touch gloves just after 4:20am BST before the first bell sounds.
It is set to be broadcast live on Netflix. For boxing fans, Taylor's mouthwatering trilogy showdown with Serrano will come at no additional cost to Netflix subscription holders. If you don't hold a Netflix subscription, packages start from £5.99 / $7.99 per month, with the most expensive membership priced at £18.99 / $24.99.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot wins final stage to become first French winner of Tour de France Femmes
Olympic champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot became the first Frenchwoman to win the Tour de France Femmes on Sunday, pushing through three punishing climbs to clinch the final stage ahead of 2023 champion Demi Vollering, who finished second overall. The 33-year-old of team Visma-Lease a Bike - who only returned to road racing this year after a seven-year hiatus - held steady through the 124.1km ride from Praz-sur-Arly to Chatel, before countering a move by Vollering and launching a decisive attack in the last seven kilometres. She fell to the ground in tears after crossing the finish line and celebrated with her parents, while compatriot Jeannie Longo - a three-time winner of a previous incarnation of the Tour, in the 1980s, and the last French champion - made an appearance at the roadside on a great day for the host nation. 'I'm so, so happy,' Ferrand-Prevot told reporters. 'I was a bit scared with the pressure of this jersey... I had to stick to the front and just stay there.' Vollering, of FDJ-Suez, stayed in a group with Ferrand-Prevot for the majority of the ninth stage, but could not break away to make up her deficit of more than three minutes coming into the final day. The Dutch rider finished second in the race for the second year in a row, and secured a podium spot for the fourth year running, losing out on the yellow jersey by three minutes and 42 seconds. Defending champion Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM) finished third overall, four minutes and nine seconds back. Ferrand-Prevot, who won gold in the cross-country mountain biking at last year's Paris Games, had taken the yellow jersey from Kimberley Le Court on Saturday. Australia's Sarah Gigante, who was second overall coming into the final stage, tried to get ahead of Ferrand-Prevot on the hors-categorie Col de Joux Plane, but the Frenchwoman stayed on her wheels. Gigante's poor descending cost her in the latter stages of the race. She fell behind as Ferrand-Prevot and her rivals caught up with the lone breakway rider Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) on the way to Col du Corbier, the final major climb of the 1,168.6km race, and slipped to sixth overall, losing four minutes. The exhausted leading group was unable to keep up when Ferrand-Prevot launched her final attack and crossed the finish line 20 seconds before Vollering to huge applause from the crowd in Chatel. Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), who has led the points classification since stage three, cemented her position to deny Dutch compatriot Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) a third green jersey. Vollering's teammate Elise Chabbey won the Queen of the Mountains jersey and 21-year-old Dutchwoman Nienke Vinke secured the best young rider award.

Dina Asher-Smith takes British 200m title before revealing she has quit Texas for London
Dina Asher-Smith is back on top form after recent surprise relocation home to London following 18-month stint in Texas but the national record holder is refusing to divulge too many details Dina Asher-Smith pipped Amy Hunt in a photofinish to win the 200m national title before revealing she has permanently relocated home to London. Britain's fastest woman clocked a championship record 22.14secs in blustery Birmingham and put her recent form down to home comforts after ending an 18-month stint in Texas under renowned coach Edrick Floreal. Asher-Smith does not want any details of her current 'support system' to be publicised until after next month's World Championships for fear of it hurting her preparations. But she did hint at being back in 'an environment where I can have discussions" and 'be happy, free and my fullest, most vibrant self.' She added: 'I just want a nice, smooth path to Tokyo because I'm in great shape and know I can go there and perform really well. 'I'm back in London and so grateful to have an incredible support system that I've had for so long. I need to be in an environment where I can have discussions and work hard through my races week on week. I think it's really important to be in an environment that recognises that and fosters it.' Asher-Smith has confirmed she will double in Japan and had a far clearer answer when asked if she feels in medal shape: 'Yes.' While new 100m champ Hunt came just short of sealing a sprint double, Zharnel Hughes zoomed to a championship record 19.9secs in the men's 200m to add to the gold he won comfortably on Saturday night. Josh Kerr also proved a class above in the 5000m, pushing on with a kilometre to go after a pedestrian start. And Georgia Hunter Bell sealed the 800m prize to confirm her option to compete over that and the 1500m in Tokyo. But she will now not settle on a plan until after running 800m at Lausanne Diamond League, which is slated to be Keely Hodgkinson's long-awaited return from injury, on August 20. Asked if she can beat Olympic 800m champ Hodgkinson, who is also her training partner, Hunter Bell said: "I don't know. We train together all the time. But she's such a good athlete and it will be the first time we've raced where we're kind of close. "Whenever I have raced her before she's been so far ahead. It will be interesting. The first match up will be in Lausanne. She's definitely made me a better athlete. I've learned a lot from her. I still think she's a league ahead, so we'll see."
