Serrano sets sights on trilogy: 'If Katie wants her belts back, we’re going to have to go for a third fight'

Taylor exhibits an obvious frustration at endless questions about retirement. She knows this won’t last.

Amanda Serrano: 'I fight with everything I got. Katie is a warrior. We are going to put on a great show'

356 days later. For 38-year-old Katie Taylor, it has been over 11 months out of the ring. She has not boxed since avenging her only homecoming defeat in a classic versus Chantelle Cameron. Now Amanda Serrano awaits.

Friday's Texas rematch was initially set to take place in 2023, but Serrano sustained an injury. The pair were then slated to face each other last July as co-main event with the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul clash. Then Tyson had to withdraw and reschedule. So Taylor, who has been extremely active since joining the paid ranks, has faced an extended break.
