Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano: WWE's Becky Lynch & Bianca Belair attend weigh-ins

Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair continued to lead WWE’s cross-promotion of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano as the two wrestlers attended the weigh-ins.

Taylor and Serrano will become the first female fighters to headline Madison Square Garden tonight as they prepare to showcase the biggest women’s boxing match in history.

There was an Irish-heavy crowd in attendance last night, as the Bray-born Taylor weighed in at 136.6lbs to Serrano’s 133.6lbs.

Lynch was there to support her compatriot Taylor and applaud how far she has come. Big Time Becks, who has made history multiple times with WWE, reflected on how both women grew up training in the same area in Ireland to go on to dominate in their respective sports.

“Everyone in Ireland always knew what she was going to do, she was a legend,” Big Time Becks told DAZN. “I started wrestling, 15 years old, in a tiny little gym in Bray, County Wicklow. She was boxing, same age — 15 years old in a tiny little gym, Bray, County Wicklow.

“But everybody knew about her, everybody knew she was going to be a superstar, that she was going to be a legend, that she was going to change the game for women’s boxing, and she’s done that.

“To be able to experience that, to have gone on a similar trajectory — like, I was the first woman to win the main event at WrestleMania, here in New York she’s going to be the first woman to main event Madison Square Garden in the biggest women’s boxing match in history. It’s beautiful and so well deserved.”
