Two of the world's top female fighters will finally face off inside a boxing ring. Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will make history as they headline a Madison Square Garden boxing card on April 30.
On the line will be Katie Taylor's WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles. The fight was announced as result of a collaboration between Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn and Most Valuable Promotions' Jake Paul.
Serrano is a seven-division world champion, having held gold in the super-featherweight, junior-featherweight, featherweight, lightweight, bantamweight, light-welterweight, and junior-bantamweight divisions. Serrano is on a 28-fight win streak since suffering the only loss of her career in 2012. Her last fight was in December, a unanimous decision win against Miriam Gutierrez, a former opponent of Taylor’s.
Living in New York throughout her life, Serrano has been dreaming about this moment for a long time. She recently teamed up with Paul and Most Valuable Promotions and has become a big part of Paul's fight cards.

The fight is finally back on after the two were going to clash back in 2020 at a Matchroom Fight Camp event. COVID-19 altered those plans, in addition to a change in booking due to Serrano filming a Telemundo show. Hearn threatened legal action due to the conflicting schedule of the two events. There was also a debate regarding what the fight pay would be.
A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Taylor made her pro debut in 2016 and won the WBA lightweight title in 2017. She then beat Victoria Bustos in 2018 for the IBF title, Rose Volante for the WBO title, and Delfine Persoon in 2019 for the WBC and The Ring titles. Taylor won three fights in 2021. Her last bout was a unanimous decision win over Firuza Sharipova in December.
