Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano: Madison Square title fight 'one of the biggest ever' - Jake Paul

Jake Paul believes Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano's headline title fight at Madison Square Garden is «equality as it is meant to be».

Undisputed lightweight champion Taylor will defend her titles against seven-weight champion Serrano on 30 April.

The fight is the first female bout to headline the iconic New York venue.

«They deserve this stage, they deserve this historic pay day and they deserve to settle who is the pound-for-pound best,» said Paul.

YouTube star Paul, who has won his five fights since venturing into the sport, is co-promoting the high-profile bout and feels the Taylor and Serrano are the «two best female boxers in the world right now».

«Women have been boxing since the early 1900s but it wasn't until 1999 that they were able to compete professionally. Twenty-three years later, here we are with one of the biggest fights ever, headlined by two women at Madison Square Garden.»

It will be the sixth time Irish fighter Taylor has put her belts on the line since beating Delfine Persoon to claim them in June 2019.

Taylor and Puerto Rico's Serrano, 33, were originally due to face each other in May 2020, but the Manchester fight was called off because of the pandemic.

Undefeated Taylor, 35, claimed her titles when she beat Persoon at Madison Square Garden in 2019 before overcoming the Belgian in a rematch in England in August 2020.

Since then, the Bray fighter has seen off Gutierrez, Natasha Jonas, Jennifer Han and Sharipova to keep her unbeaten record in tact.

Serrano, who is working with Paul, will enter the fight in fine form having beaten Spain's Miriam Gutierrez in Florida in December after also claiming wins over Daniela Romina Bermudez and Yamileth Mercado in 2021.
