Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano's trilogy fight has been confirmed for Madison Square Garden on July 11.

The New York City venue will host their third bout, having hosted their first fight back in 2022, while they also faced off in Texas last year. 

Bray boxer Taylor has edged Serrano in both fights thus far, but came out the victor by narrow points margins on both occasions. 

Their first clash in April 2022 made history as the first women’s fight to headline MSG. 

Their rematch at AT&T Stadium in November 2024, shattered records with 74 million average viewers globally.

Now, the fighters are set to renew their rivalry once more at MSG where the IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC world super-lightweight titles will be on the line. 

The historic fight - an MVP event - will stream live globally, exclusively on Netflix on Friday, July 11.

“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.”

Serrano added: “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. “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.”
