Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 officially announced
The trilogy fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which has been rumored for a while now, has been officially announced.
These two women have already battled each other on two previous occasions, with both fights making waves due to how incredibly competitive and entertaining they were. In both instances, Katie Taylor was able to get her hand raised in victory. Alas, while that may be the story on paper, many believe that Amanda Serrano has a claim to have won one – and perhaps even both – of those fights.
Regardless of which side of the camp you fall on, there’s no denying that there was a real appetite for Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3. Now, it’s been confirmed, and it’ll go down on July 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

“I’m 2-0 against Amanda but it’s obviously a very special rivalry that delivers every time we step in the ring so I think it’s only right that we have the trilogy,” Taylor said.
“I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds,” Serrano said.
“This is a record-setting payday for both of us, and we owed it to the fans to honour the handshake deal we made. She didn’t.
“But make no mistake, every time we share the ring, it is war, and I know Friday, July 11, will be the greatest yet because I will finally get the official [win] I deserve.”

There’s a lot on the line here for both women. Alas, for Amanda Serrano, this is quite clearly the last opportunity she’s going to get at picking up a win over her Irish rival – which should make this an absolutely must watch encounter.
