Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano booked for historic trilogy bout this summer
After two tremendous Fight of the Year contenders, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to do it all again. Taylor and Serrano will share the ring for the third time in a battle for Taylor's undisputed super lightweight championship on Friday, July 11, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The bout was announced Thursday by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. Netflix, which streamed the second Taylor vs. Serrano fight as part of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul undercard, will also show the trilogy contest. Taylor vs. Serrano 3 will headline an all-female fight card, with further bouts to be confirmed. Here we go Once again!

I'm coming to do what I always do give it my all. Hopefully the… — Amanda Serrano (@Serranosisters) March 6, 2025 Ireland's Taylor and Puerto Rico's Serrano first met in April 2022, when they sold out Madison Square Garden with an undisputed lightweight title fight that was widely considered one of the best fights of the year. That first fight brought the women's side of the sport to the forefront of the boxing conversation – and on a night when they were competing with a male unification fight between Shakur Stevenson and Oscar Valdez on ESPN. On that occasion, Taylor won a split-decision over Serrano to retain her undisputed lightweight title. The two were then given an even bigger stage for their rematch, a co-main event spot to Paul vs. Tyson, which was the most-watched boxing event in the world in 2024. The women once again proved they belonged on such a platform, trading leather for 20 minutes to produce a spectacular slugfest, with Taylor once again being declared the winner by a single point on all three scorecards. This time, however, the decision was much more controversial. A large portion of fans felt that Serrano deserved the nod over Taylor. And so on July 11, they will settle the score once and for all in the first major trilogy of fights in women's boxing history. Taylor vs. Serrano will join a select list of trilogies where both the first and second fights were won by the same fighter. The most recent high-profile example of this is the three fights between Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora between 2011 and 2022, with all three fights being won by Fury. In the case of Fury-Chisora, there was hardly a need for a third fight. It's a very different situation between Taylor and Serrano, especially after the controversy following their second meeting. A better comparison for Taylor vs. Serrano would be the Alan Minter-Kevin Finnegan trilogy in the 1970s. Minter and Finnegan boxed three times in three consecutive years. Although Minter won the first two, the judges' decision in the second bout was controversial — much like Taylor vs. Serrano II — and so there was little complaint when a third fight was made. The second fight between Taylor and Serrano smashed prior women's boxing viewership numbers, drawing an estimated 74 million average viewers on Netflix this past November.

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 finally confirmed with Netflix streaming boxing again
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will round out their historic trilogy on 11 July, as they clash at Madison Square Garden – live on Netflix. In 2022, Taylor and Serrano squared off in the biggest women's boxing match of all time, before their rematch last November proved equally gripping and even further-reaching. Irish icon Taylor narrowly won both fights, beating the Puerto Rican via split decision in their first bout and by unanimous decision in their rematch (but by just one point on every scorecard). The first fight took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, while the rematch served as the co-main event of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul at the Dallas Cowboys' NFL stadium. Their initial meeting saw the fighters take home the first seven-figure paydays in women's boxing history, and their sequel was reportedly viewed by 50m people on Netflix. Now, Taylor and Serrano will return to the Garden, and to Netflix, as Serrano eyes revenge and her rival's undisputed super-lightweight titles. Serrano, 36, is a four-weight world champion but failed to take the undisputed super-lightweight belts from Taylor, 38, in October. In 2022, she failed to take the undisputed lightweight straps from her rival. 'Here we go once again! THE TRILOGY!' Serrano tweeted on Thursday (6 May). 'July 11th on the best network @netflix we give the fans another one! All women's card, live on Netflix globally, from MSG, record paydays. Amanda Serrano. Katie Taylor. Two of the best ever. God is great. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 6, 2025 'TaylorSerrano3 [...] @TheGarden the scene of TaylorSerrano 1. I'm coming to do what I always do, give it my all. Hopefully the judges get it right although I have other intentions this time! Come watch it live or on Netflix, just DON'T MISS IT!!' YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, who promotes Serrano, tweeted: 'All women's card, live on Netflix globally, from MSG, record paydays. Amanda Serrano. Katie Taylor. Two of the best ever. God is great.'
