The third meeting between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will take place.
As part of their historic trilogy, the boxers have agreed to rematch on Friday, July 11 live on Netflix.
It follows Taylor’s victory over Serrano on Netflix’s first boxing card, which took place right before the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout last year.
The two will be the main attraction at Madison Square Garden’s all-female boxing event.
With 74 million live viewers worldwide, the pair’s previous Netflix bout was regarded as the most watched professional women’s sporting event in American history.
In a fierce 10-round rematch for the undisputed super lightweight world title, Taylor and Serrano squared off. After the fight was judged 95-94 in Taylor’s favor by all three judges, she defended her title as the world’s undisputed super lightweight champion.
Although I am 0–0 against Amanda, Katie Taylor stated, “I think it is only fitting that we have the trilogy because it is a very special rivalry that delivers every time we step in the ring.” The first fight there had an incredible atmosphere, and I have no doubt that this one will be no different. Hopefully, the large number of fans that attended the previous battle in November will want to watch the trilogy fight as well, and we can put on another fantastic bout.Amanda Serrano added, “I am so thankful that we get to finish our journey where it all started — at Madison Square Garden, live on Netflix for the world to see. I promised my fans they would see this trilogy.””I am upset that Katie Taylor did not follow through on her promise to make the trilogy equivalent to the men’s twelve three-minute rounds. We owed it to the fans to keep the handshake agreement we made, and this is a record-breaking payday for both of us. She didn’t. However, it is always battle when we share the ring, and I am confident that Friday, July 11, will be the best one yet since I will finally receive the formal victory I am due.
Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria stated, “Taylor-Serrano 2 was not only one of the most exciting fights I have ever seen, but it also made history as the most-watched professional women’s sports event in the U.S.””At Netflix, we are honored to keep raising awareness of female athletes and to present MVP, another historic event, to our global audience.”
