Katie Taylor set for Vegas bout with old foe Amanda Serrano

Katie Taylor seems set for a Las Vegas showdown with old foe Amanda Serrano.

Plans for another fight in Dublin for Taylor have been shelved.

Now, Taylor and Serrano are expected to clash at the Sphere in Las Vegas in early June. An announcement could even be made by Matchroom, Taylor's promoter, this week.

A May 25 date had been earmarked for a possible trilogy against Chantelle Cameron at the 3Arena, but those hopes have faded while a Croke Park date for the 2012 Olympic champion appears as distant as ever.

Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn has opened talks with Serrano's team and it seems as if the Puerto Rican (46-2-1) is keen on a rematch with Taylor (23-1).

"There is a good chance she could fight Serrano next," Hearn said. "Absolutely, the Serrano rematch is an option for the next fight. It would be a huge fight."

Southpaw Serrano lost a controversial split decision against Taylor in April 2022 in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden in New York when the world lightweight belts were on the line.

Serrano defeated Sarah Mahfoud to win the WBO, WBC, IBF, IBO world featherweight titles five months later before adding the WBA version with a victory over Erika Cruz Hernandez.

Serrano is believed to be keen for a swift bout after a freak injury ruled her out of a homecoming bout against Nina Meinke.

Just minutes before their fight at Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico was due to get underway, it was cancelled.

Serrano was deemed unfit to compete due to an eye injury caused by a hair product she had used two days beforehand.

While Cameron and Alycia Baumgardner, the world super featherweight champ, have been touted as possible opponents for Taylor's next outing, the possibilities for a Serrano rematch are
