Background: Pound-for-pound stars, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, will become the first ever female fighters to headline an MSG event in the iconic venue’s 140 years of boxing history. The female pioneers will make history in an epic battle for Taylor’s undisputed lightweight championship in New York.
Irish icon Taylor, 35, puts all her lightweight baubles on the line for the sixth time since winning them in June 2019 in a war with Belgian Delfine Persoon, before repelling the challenges of Miriam Gutierrez, Natasha Jonas, Jennifer Han and Firuza Sharipova – and there’s added spice to this fight as the Katie holds a win over Amanda’s sister Cindy in Boston back in October 2018.
Puerto Rican sensation Serrano, 33, already has an unrivalled legacy in the sport as a seven-weight World champion. The Brooklyn based champion enters the momentous bout in sparkling form after knocking out Daniela Bermudez last March, dominating Yamileth Mercado in August and overpowering Miriam Gutierrez in two separate cards co-starring Jake Paul. Amanda was the 2021 Female Fighter of the Year for DAZN, ESPN and WBC among others.
Quotes
Taylor: “The atmosphere is always electric at MSG. You can almost feel those iconic moments from the past when you are there. There’s going to be a lot of Irish fans in the building, I think it could easily be a 50-50 crowd with a lot of Amanda’s fans too, so it’s going to make for an amazing atmosphere.
“You think of Madison Square Garden, and you think the likes of Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier these kinds of fights. It’s years and years later we’re still talking Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier kind of fights. I think years and years later from this fight people are still going to be talking about Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano.”
Serrano: “Being a Latina from Brooklyn, I’m excited to say, ‘I’ve made it. I’m fighting the main event at Madison Square Garden! I’m making seven figures, a young Latina from Brooklyn. I never thought it could happen.
“I’ve never fought at MSG; I did a tour there recently and then we did the press conference there; I was in awe of it, and I am so honored to be fighting here. I made history at the Hulu Theater by becoming seven-weight World champion and I won the Golden Gloves there too – it’s full circle now being able to be headlining in the big room and following some of the greats.”
Predictions: Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “I think Taylor has shown a few chinks in her armour in recent bouts, but she still manages to overcome any obstacles to get the win. Even though I believe this will be her hardest fight yet, I will still back Taylor to win on points.”
