On November 15, women’s boxing will witness a historic moment as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano face each other once again. The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, and is set as the co-main event on a stellar card that features Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in the main event.
Taylor and Serrano previously clashed on April 30, 2022, at Madison Square Garden in New York. In that initial encounter, Taylor claimed victory by split decision in a nail-biting fight that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. It was an even match, with both boxers showcasing their skill and dedication in the ring.
For this rematch, Taylor and Serrano will compete at a contracted weight of 138 pounds, adding intrigue to the bout. In a recent interview with the Irish Mirror, Taylor explained the weight change. “I think we’re probably the same size, to be honest,” Taylor told the Irish Mirror on a call with media members on Tuesday. “The fight has actually been made at 138; it’s a catchweight. But I think if you look at myself and Serrano, we’re the same size. I could make 126 pounds as well if I tried. I don’t think she’s looked too well at that weight for the last few fights,” the Irish boxer mentioned.
Katie Taylor also expressed feeling comfortable at this weight, stating she feels strong and prepared for the challenge.
“She looks drained from making that weight, so I don’t know if it’s any advantage or not, but I certainly feel good at this weight; I feel strong at this weight,” noted Taylor.
For her part, Amanda Serrano has maintained an impressive record (47-2-1) since her first fight with Taylor. Following that loss, Serrano has secured five consecutive victories, including her most recent bout, where she defeated Stevie Morgan by stoppage in the second round on July 20 in Tampa. This winning streak showcases Serrano’s excellent form and renewed focus, as she seeks to avenge her only recent defeat and claim victory.
Katie Taylor, with a record of 23 wins and only one loss, has also sustained her competitive momentum. Her last fight was against Chantelle Cameron on November 25, 2023, in Dublin, Ireland, where Taylor won by majority decision in the tenth round. This victory underscores Taylor’s tenacity, as she aims to further solidify her position as one of the greatest boxers in history.
