Taylor v Serrano 3: Trilogy fight announced for 11 July in New York

Katie Taylor will fight Amanda Serrano in their trilogy bout on 11 July at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Irishwoman narrowly won both her previous encounters with Serrano, most recently a points decision in November in Texas.

“I’m 2-0 against Amanda but it’s obviously a very special rivalry that delivers every time we step in the ring so I think it’s only right that we have the trilogy,” Taylor said.

Taylor will defend her light-welterweight undisputed titles again and the all-female card will be shown live on streaming platform Netflix. It will be the second time Taylor and Serrano have headlined the iconic venue.

The event will be promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. Serrano signed a “life-time deal” with the promotional company this week.

Puerto Rico’s Serrano, 39, is a world champion at featherweight and said she had wanted the trilogy bout to be over 12 three-minute rounds, rather than the 10 two-minute rounds used in women’s boxing.

“I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds,” Serrano said.

“This is a record-setting payday for both of us, and we owed it to the fans to honour the handshake deal we made. She didn’t.

“But make no mistake, every time we share the ring, it is war, and I know Friday, July 11, will be the greatest yet because I will finally get the official [win] I deserve.”

The rivals were the co-main event to Jake Paul v Mike Tyson in November and a reported 50 million people watched Taylor v Serrano 2.
