Eddie Hearn is convinced Katie Taylor’s showdown with Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden “will blow the doors off women’s boxing and boxing in general”.

Taylor, the darling of Ireland, and Puerto Rico’s seven-weight champion Serrano will make history on Saturday as the first female boxers to headline at New York’s iconic venue.
