Two of the most celebrated figures in women's boxing, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, are set to conclude their highly anticipated trilogy on July 11 at Madison Square Garden. This all-female boxing event promises to be a spectacle like no other, bringing together some of the sport's top talents for an unforgettable night. The rivalry between Taylor and Serrano dates back to March 2022, when they first faced off in a thrilling encounter that ended in controversy. Since then, these two have continued to push each other to new heights, with Taylor emerging victorious in both previous matches.
Their initial clash took place under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, where Taylor entered as the undisputed lightweight champion. That evening saw a fiercely contested bout judged differently by three ringside officials. While one judge favored Serrano, the others leaned toward Taylor, setting the stage for further drama. Two years later, at AT&T Stadium, the rematch showcased another stellar performance from both athletes, ultimately resulting in Taylor's unanimous decision win.
This summer, fans will witness the culmination of this storied rivalry. Recently signing with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by social media sensation Jake Paul, Serrano aims to level the score against Taylor. As part of history’s first all-women boxing card, this headline bout is joined by several other championship fights featuring some of boxing's brightest stars.
Beyond the main event, spectators can look forward to Alycia Baumgardner battling Jennifer Miranda for the undisputed super featherweight crown, Ellie Scotney taking on Yamileth Mercado in a super bantamweight unification match, Dina Thorslund squaring off against Shurretta Metcalf for the bantamweight titles, and Tamm Thibeault facing Mary Casamassa in what promises to be an explosive evening of action.
As anticipation builds for this landmark event, it marks not only the conclusion of Taylor and Serrano's trilogy but also highlights the growing prominence of women in professional boxing. With so much talent on display, this July 11 showdown could redefine the landscape of the sport forever.
