Katie Taylor goes ‘through the trenches’ in bid to beat Amanda Serrano again

Katie Taylor plans to set the record straight against Amanda Serrano on Friday night and defend her status as undisputed world light-welterweight champion.

Taylor won a narrow all-action contest with Serrano by a split decision in 2022 on a historic night at Madison Square Garden.

It was the first women’s boxing match to headline at the famous New York venue and the duo will add more weight to their legacy with this fight at AT&T Stadium set to be broadcast by Netflix, which has more than 260million paid memberships globally.

“It’s absolutely an amazing opportunity that we both have and I just can’t wait to step in there and showcase what I can do again and get another win.”

This will be Taylor’s first fight in almost a year after she produced a stellar display to claim a majority decision victory over Chantelle Cameron in Dublin last November.

It avenged Taylor’s first defeat of her professional career to Cameron earlier in 2023.
