Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to do it once more on Might 20 in Eire, because the rematch was formally introduced tonight following Serrano’s win over Erika Cruz, which made Serrano undisputed featherweight champion.
Taylor, in fact, is undisputed light-weight champion, so this might be a blockbuster assembly of undisputed vs undisputed, a real rarity within the sport.
Right here’s the promo for the rematch:
“The rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano is on,” promoter Eddie Hearn advised Chris Mannix of DAZN.
“The final battle was an epic battle, and I feel the following one goes to be the identical,” stated Taylor.
“She deserves to battle in Eire, and it’s going to be a much bigger and higher battle over there,” Serrano stated. “I do know what I must do.”
Taylor (22-0, 6 KO) controversially defeated Serrano (44-2-1, 31 KO) in a shocking battle final April at Madison Sq. Backyard in what was simply the best-promoted occasion of the yr, after which changed into fairly arguably the most effective battle of the yr, girls or males or martians or whomever.
There was discuss of the rematch final yr, however that fell by means of. The battle is now on, although, and we are able to’t wait to see it.
Actual location has not been finalized, although it is going to be in Dublin. Eddie Hearn said earlier this week that Croke Park was out because it was simply too expensive, however Conor McGregor has offered to sponsor the event if it will help put it at the stadium, so we’ll see what occurs there.
Both means, anticipate one other unbelievable environment. Taylor has by no means fought in Eire as knowledgeable, and there’s no fighter in American boxing proper now who even approaches being beloved and nationally revered the best way Taylor is in her residence nation.
