Brooklyn’s Amanda Serrano, the unified featherweight boxing champion, will rematch Katie Taylor, the undisputed super lightweight champion, on July 20. The fight is a co-main event between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and will be available on Netflix.
Taylor and Serrano will rematch at AT&T Stadium in Texas for the undisputed super lightweight championship. They made history as the first female fighters to headline Madison Square Garden. The fight earned them Sports Illustrated’s “Fight of the Year” and The Ring’s “Event of the Year” in 2022.
“This is the rematch the world has wanted to see and I’m delighted that it’s finally happening,” said Katie Taylor. “The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.”
“I promised my fans they would see this rematch after we made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible to show the world what elite women’s boxing is all about,” said Amanda Serrano. “While my focus continues to be on giving women the choice to fight with the same rules as men, I’ve always said that this is the one fight I’d go back to 10×2 for if that’s what Katie wanted. I’m coming for her belts, she wants 10×2, so that’s what we will do.”
“I believe I won our first fight, but I didn’t get the decision, so this time I’m not leaving it to the judges. I am honored to share this iconic MVP card in the biggest stadium, on the biggest streaming platform in the world. Thank you Nakisa, Jake, Mike, and Netflix for making this happen. And to all the young girls and women watching, I want you to know that anything is possible.”
“Keep dreaming, keep working hard, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. It took me 15 years of blood, sweat, and tears to get here, but it’s all worth it because I’m living my dreams.”
Iron Mike, a known advocate for women’s boxing, is excited to have the rematch as a co-main event.
“Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are two of the best boxers in the world,” he said. “I know they can both put on an incredible show, and I’m thrilled to have them join this card. These remarkable athletes will undoubtedly elevate the event with their global appeal and fan bases. Adding one of the greatest fights in women’s boxing history to this unforgettable event is a true gift to fans. Saturday, July 20, can’t get here soon enough.”
As MVP works to create equity across the sport, Taylor vs. Serrano 2 marks the latest in a series of significant women’s championship fights. In a paired statement, Jake Paul and MVP fellow co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said the following:
“Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor have proven they are two of the biggest names in the sport, male or female, and their rematch is one of the biggest fights in boxing, so it’s only fitting for them to be a part of this massive global event. Anyone who witnessed their first battle knows the unforgettable atmosphere and performance Amanda and Katie bring when they step into the ring together, and this is sure to be a fight of the year contender again.”
“Bringing attention to women’s boxing has always been a priority for MVP and we are thrilled to give the world’s most-anticipated women’s boxing fight ever a crowning moment on Netflix. Thank you to Matchroom and DAZN for working with MVP and Netflix to make this historic fight come to fruition.”
