Tonight at Madison Square Garden, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano meet for the third — and possibly final — time in one of the most anticipated matchups in boxing this year.
With multiple world titles on the line — including Taylor’s undisputed super-lightweight crown — tonight’s showdown is historic.
But the stakes go far beyond titles. What was once a respectful rivalry has turned into something far more personal.
During their second fight on November 15, 2024, staged as the co-main event of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson spectacle, Taylor and Serrano nearly stole the show.
Their bloody, brutal bout drew massive attention, with many declaring it the fight of the night.
With tickets starting at under $40, you’ll get more than your money’s worth from tonight’s main event.
Grudge Match at the Garden
For Serrano, the performance helped cement her as a household name, particularly among fans new to women’s boxing. Taylor, meanwhile, walked away with a second decision win — this time unanimous, though still controversial.
That second bout is still fueling tonight’s fire. Serrano’s team accused Taylor of unsavory tactics, including excessive clinching and questionable head movement that resulted in a clash.
There were whispers of dirty tricks, while Taylor dismissed the complaints as media noise. Their press conferences have since become charged and confrontational, adding fuel to the grudge match narrative.
History in the Making
But this is more than bad blood. It’s a landmark event. Taylor vs. Serrano III headlines the first-ever all-female boxing card at Madison Square Garden, with 21 world titles on the line.
It’s a defining moment for the sport — one that transcends weight classes, gender, and national allegiances.
Taylor, now 39, looks to sweep the trilogy and defend her undisputed super-lightweight crown. Serrano enters as the challenger, but with momentum and motivation to avenge two razor-thin losses.
The undercard only heightens the significance of the night, featuring multiple world title fights and headliners in their own right.
But all eyes will be on the main event. The buzz in the building, the history between them, and the sheer animosity guarantee a must-watch bout.
Last-minute tickets are still available. For fans hoping to be part of history, this is the chance to witness one of the fiercest rivalries in boxing come to a boiling point. Taylor vs. Serrano III isn’t just a rubber match — it’s a legacy fight.
