Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano Set for Historic Trilogy Fight at Madison Square Garden

A historic night for women’s boxing is set for July 11, 2025, as undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor and multi-division titleholder Amanda Serrano will face off for the third time at Madison Square Garden. This highly anticipated trilogy fight comes after their first two electrifying matchups, both of which set records for women’s boxing viewership and attendance.

Taylor, who won their first fight in 2022 in a close split decision, and Serrano, who evened the rivalry with a victory in their 2023 rematch, will now settle the score in what is expected to be one of the biggest events in women’s boxing history. Promoters have confirmed that the fight will feature the highest purses ever for female fighters, a testament to both boxers’ impact on the sport and their ability to draw mainstream attention.

However, despite the significance of the bout, Serrano has expressed dissatisfaction over the fight’s structure. The Puerto Rican fighter has been a vocal advocate for women’s boxing to shift from two-minute rounds to the standard three-minute rounds used in men’s championship fights. She had pushed for this adjustment in the upcoming trilogy bout, believing it would allow female fighters to showcase their skills at the same level as their male counterparts. However, negotiations ultimately maintained the traditional two-minute round format, leaving Serrano disappointed.

Taylor, while open to changes in the future, has remained focused on cementing her legacy. The Irish fighter aims to prove that her 2022 victory was no fluke and that she remains the undisputed queen of the lightweight division.

With both fighters at the peak of their careers and their rivalry intensifying, the upcoming bout promises to be a must-watch event. If their previous fights are any indication, fans can expect another high-energy, closely contested battle that could further push women’s boxing into the global spotlight.
