The first came at New York's famed Madison Square Garden in 2024 and the rematch was on Paul's Texas undercard against Tyson in November.
Paul beat the returning Tyson over eight, shorter two minute rounds as the heavyweight great made a controversial comeback aged 58.
But many felt the real main event came after Taylor beat Serrano over ten epic rounds - setting up Friday's trilogy on Netflix.
And promoter Paul - who recently beat ex-middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - has raised the stakes.
He FaceTimed Tyson and said: "A lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor's fight was better than ours…
"They're fighting again this weekend."
Tyson, now 59, said: "I got Katie."
Paul, 28, responded "I got Amanda."

But Tyson doubled down with: "Nah I got Katie."
Paul then asked if Iron Mike wanted to make a bet with him - to which the boxing legend paused before shouting "yeah!"
The YouTuber-turned-boxer said: "Alright, we'll make a bet. If Katie wins then you get $1million ($700,000). If Amanda wins, then I get $1million."
And Tyson said: "I like that. And then you gotta take me out for dinner too."
Before ending the call, Paul signed off with: "Alright, I'll take you out to dinner, I'll take you on a date. Amanda's gonna win, baby."
Tyson - who shared an $80m (£60m) purse down the middle with Paul - has settled back into boxing retirement.
Paul meanwhile improved to 12-1 with victory over Chavez Jr in California and now puts his promoters hat on for Taylor-Serrano 3.
