How do Taylor and Serrano's records compare?
Taylor and Serrano have two of the best records in boxing, not just the women's game.Serrano is a seven-weight world champion while Taylor is among an elite club in the modern era to win undisputed titles in two weight classes.Taylor, 39, has 24 wins and just one loss on her record, a 2023 defeat by Cameron she avenged in her next fight.Serrano, 36, is one of the most experienced pro-female fighters on the scene today with 47 wins, three losses and one draw on her record.Taylor has two victories over Serrano, while the other defeat was way back in 2012 at super-featherweight to Frida Wallberg.We saw in the first fight how their styles gelled perfectly and just how many punches were thrown between them. A combined 320 punches were landed over the 10 rounds and after 20 rounds that figure rose to 861 punches.Taylor won a narrow split decision in an instant classic at MSG three years ago.The Irishwoman suffered her first defeat since then while Serrano became undisputed champion at featherweight as she amassed five more wins.Their fight last November was another epic as Taylor leaned on her reactions and experience while a badly cut Serrano refused to take a backwards step. Remarkably, after 40 minutes we still haven't seen a knockdown.
Who won Taylor v Serrano 1 & 2?
Taylor and Serrano's two fights couldn't have been much closer. The first encounter was a split decision for Taylor while the rematch was a little wider for the Irishwoman.Cardio and grit for both women was a massive factor in each fight, with Taylor digging deep to stay on her feet at MSG before Serrano battled through a terrible cut above her eye through much of the rematch in Texas.
On both occasions, Serrano slammed her foot on the gas from the very first bell, throwing a huge amount of punches. She out-landed Taylor in both fights, with 324 punches to Taylor's 217 in the rematch.But the volume wasn't enough for Serrano as she failed to put a real dent in Taylor. The defending champion used her counters and speed to deal with the onslaught and landed more of the meatier shots.While Serrano had visibly hurt Taylor in the first fight, she was unable to rock her rival in the rematch.Will either woman come out with a different game plan for the trilogy or will we see another all-action firefight?

Joao Pedro insists he's ready to rumble as Chelsea take on Fluminense in Club World Cup semi-final set to feature legendary boxing announcer
It is believed FIFA have hired Michael Buffer — the legendary ring announcer now aged 80 — to perform the Chelsea and Fluminense players' walk-ons in New Jersey today. The American is set to lend his voice to the Club World Cup 's semi-finals and final, and his presence will be particularly fitting for Joao Pedro after Chelsea's new striker revealed he is ready to rumble. After discussing the training ground bust-up he had with Jan Paul van Hecke at Brighton — an altercation which meant he missed the end of last season — the 23-year-old said he was itching to start up front ahead of Nicolas Jackson, with Liam Delap suspended. He may have been on holiday in Brazil last week, but he took his personal trainer with him, knowing that Brighton might sell for £55million. Now, he may face former club Fluminense. 'I knew Chelsea had an interest in me, so that's why I was training harder,' Joao Pedro said. 'Imagine if I didn't train and Chelsea called me to come. I made my debut (versus Palmeiras in the quarter-finals) and I think I showed I am ready. 'If I'm going to start or not, it's not my decision, but I will try to improve, be ready for Enzo (manager Maresca)and if he needs me, we will see. 'My dream was always to play for a big club and win trophies. Chelsea have a great team, a young team, and that's why I came here.' On his scrap with Van Hecke, Joao Pedro said: 'The people who know me know my character, but when two players want to win, these things happen. This is normal. But I now play for Chelsea, so I just want to talk about Chelsea.' Fluminense have been the Club World Cup's ugly ducklings. They are so much the antithesis of Chelsea's youthfulness that even Maresca might still get a game for the Brazilians at the age of 45 — and that is only a slight exaggeration. Just look at their last line-up for the match against Al Hilal. In goal was Fabio, aged 44. Diego Maradona was still playing when he began his professional career. Thiago Silva, 40, marshalled their three-man defence, flanked by two defenders aged 25 and 28. On their right wing was Samuel Xavier, 35. On their left, Gabriel Fuentes, 28. Their striker was German Cano, 37, and they brought some other thirty-somethings off the bench. The average age of Fluminense's team at the Club World Cup has been 31 years and 12 days, making them the oldest side at the tournament. Chelsea have averaged 24 years and 124 days by comparison. Despite that, Maresca insisted this semi-final is not theirs to lose, saying: 'I don't think we are favourites. There are no favourites. We already had one entire season being the youngest team in the Premier League. This will be a good test. Joao is ready, but we also have Nico.' It will be a nice reunion for Silva whose teenage sons, Iago and Isago, are in Chelsea's academy. Despite now living in Brazil, he visits Cobham often and occasionally watches first-team training under Maresca with an eye to a move into coaching. 'I'm not a spy,' Silva joked. 'I don't know Maresca that well, but I do know a lot of players there. I talk to them practically every week. 'It's going to be a special day for me, but it will be even more special if we win. 'It will be special if I can eliminate Chelsea, with all the love I have for them.' Fluminense may be older, wiser and better suited to Chelsea's 'Pensioners' nickname. But they should know that if Joao Pedro is thrown in to face them today he will fight, even if they did give him his start in professional football.

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton will miss the 2025-26 NBA season after having surgery to repair a torn right Achilles 25-year-old had sustained the injury during the first quarter of the decisive game seven of the NBA Championship play-off finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder last month. Haliburton fell down without any contact as he attempted to drive to the basket and was in obvious distress as he was helped from the court during the game that the Pacers lost 103-91 to end their hopes of a first NBA the point guard's lengthy absence, Pacers president Kevin Pritchard said he hoped Haliburton "will be back better than ever"."The surgery went well," Pritchard told WISH-TV.

Revealed: Paltry amount WNBA superstars will earn for playing in All-Star Game
The WNBA 's All-Stars will receive a paltry bonus for their participation in the game next week, it has been revealed. The likes of Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Angel Reese and Napheesa Collier were named as All-Stars, with captains Clark and Collier set to select teams on Tuesday ahead of the July 19 matchup. But as reported by Front Office Sports, players will receive just a bonus of just $2,575 from the league - regardless of if their team wins. The MVP of the game will earn an additional $5,150, while the champions of the three-point contest and skill competitions will receive $2,575 each. That amount pales in comparison to what their NBA counterparts make for getting an All-Star nod. This year's NBA All-Star Game had a prize pool of $1.8million, with players making a minimum of $25,000 each in the new format. Players on the runner-up team made $50,000, while the winning team made $125,000 each. Nonetheless, the bonuses WNBA All-Stars will make this year calculate to a non-insignificant percentage of their salaries. Clark, for example, is making just $78,066 in base salary via Spotrac, meaning she'll earn a roughly three percent bonus for being an All-Star (she of course earns millions more through various endorsement deals). WNBA All-Stars' pockets will also be lined a bit more by Aflac, who will be paying out a total of $115,000 to individual contest winners. The three-point contest winner will earn an additional $60,000 from the insurance company, while the skills competition winner will take home $55,000. It's likely that the WNBA's All-Star payouts will increase after the players' union negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement. Players opted out of the current deal a year early back in October, and have until October 31, 2025 to negotiate a new deal. The first proposal from the league was rejected by the union last month.
