SOURCE SPORTS: Taylor vs. Serrano 3 Set for Historic Trilogy Showdown at Madison Square Garden

Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix have officially announced Taylor vs. Serrano 3, the highly anticipated trilogy between Ireland’s undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Puerto Rico’s unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano. The fight will occur on July 11 at Madison Square Garden, headlining the venue’s first-ever all women’s professional boxing card. The event will stream live globally on Netflix at no additional cost to subscribers.

The rivalry between Taylor and Serrano has defined women’s boxing over the past several years. Their first fight in April 2022 was the first women’s bout to headline MSG, earning Fight of the Year honors. Their rematch in November 2024 at AT&T Stadium shattered records with 74 million average viewers, becoming the most-watched women’s sporting event in U.S. history. Now, with Taylor’s undisputed super lightweight titles on the line, the two boxing icons will settle their score where it all began.

“I want to thank everyone at Matchroom, MVP and Netflix for getting the trilogy over the line and I can’t wait to headline at MSG again in July,” said Katie Taylor. “I’m 2 and 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. The atmosphere for the first fight there was amazing and I’m sure it won’t be any different this time around. The numbers that got to see the last fight in November were incredible so hopefully those people will all want to tune in for the trilogy fight as well and we can deliver another great fight.”

“I promised my fans they would see this trilogy, and I’m incredibly grateful that we get to complete our journey where it all began — at Madison Square Garden, live on Netflix for the world to see,” said Amanda Serrano. “I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds, equal to the men. This is a record-setting payday for both of us, and we owed it to the fans to honor 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 W I deserve. Headlining an all-female card at MSG, representing both New York and Puerto Rico, is something I never thought would be possible, and it wouldn’t be without Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and MVP’s commitment to elevating women’s boxing. I’m proud to stand alongside all the talented women on this card, and I hope our fight inspires young girls everywhere to keep believing in themselves and never stop chasing their dreams.”

“This is more than just a fight — it’s a celebration of the unmatched talent of women in boxing,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor have already shattered barriers and inspired millions, and this trilogy fight at the iconic Madison Square Garden will be another historic step forward for women’s sports. This all-women’s card is not only a testament to how far the sport has come but also the beginning of an even greater push from MVP to elevate the next generation of female fighters. Unlike other incumbents in boxing, we have, are, and will always champion women as equals to men, treating them with supreme respect and we will never compromise on those values. Thank you to Netflix and MSG. We’re honored to bring this groundbreaking event to life and remain steadfast in our mission to build and invest in lasting opportunities for women in boxing. This event is the definition of W.”

Beyond the main event, the historic all-women’s card underscores a new era for female fighters, with Taylor and Serrano set to earn record-breaking purses, continuing their legacy as the highest-paid women in combat sports.
