Two of the most recognizable names in women's boxing clash for the third time Friday night when Katie Taylor puts her undisputed super lightweight titles on the line against Puerto Rican rival Amanda Serrano in New York. The trilogy fight follows the 2022 and 2024 encounters in which Katie Taylor won by decision. The veteran female boxers will headline an all-women card at the iconic Madison Square Garden, with the fight aired on Netflix. Taylor and Serrano have produced two classics in their previous fights, showcasing resilience, heart, and blood, and together raising the global interest in women’s boxing.

Katie Taylor
Katie Taylor, a 39-year-old, is a legend, not only in her native Ireland but also in women's boxing. The pound-for-pound queen has won undisputed titles in multiple weight classes and has lost only once in her career. In recent years, Taylor's career has been underscored by her rivalry with Amanda Serrano, whom Taylor has beaten twice. This is because the judges’ decisions have raised eyebrows in the industry with Amanda Serrano disagreeing with the decisions. A multiple world champion and Olympic gold medalist at lightweight, Katie Taylor has overcome adversity in her two fights with Serrano to retain her titles each time. Outpunched and on the back foot in both fights, Katie Taylor has found a way to win by landing harder punches and causing more damage to her challenger. From 2019 to 2023, Taylor was the undisputed and undefeated world lightweight champion. In November 2023, she regained her undisputed super lightweight title by beating Chantelle Cameron. She then successfully defended the titles last November against Serrano.

Amanda Serrano
Amanda Serrano, 36, claims that she won the two earlier fights with Katie Taylor. The Puerto Rican is famous for winning titles in seven weight classes and holds a Guinness World Record for the feat. Serrano, who also competes in mixed martial arts, is the unified female featherweight champion. Serrano fought Taylor at lightweight in their 2022 bout, staying toe-to-toe for most of the fight and having the champ on the ropes midway. She failed to finish the job, losing the fight by split decision. In Texas, in last year's rematch, Taylor opened a cut in Serrano's face that bled throughout the fight. The Puerto Rican lost 95-94 on all judges' scorecards to her chagrin, despite throwing more punches. Amanda Serrano, a southpaw, has fought over fifty times as a professional, boasting 31 knockouts and three losses.
