Katie Taylor will have a rematch with Amanda Serrano as the co-main event on the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson card at AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20. The fight will be for Taylor's undisputed super lightweight championship. Ireland's Taylor beat Serrano by split decision at Madison Square Garden in April 2022. Taylor said in an official statement: "This is the rematch the world has wanted to see".

Two-time undisputed champion Katie Taylor (23-1) will face off against Amanda Serrano (46-2-1) in a rematch on July 20.
The fight, largely considered the biggest in the history of women's boxing, will act as the co-main event alongside the match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in a heavyweight bout.
Serrano will move up three weight classes from featherweight to make the fight happen and the bout will be contested over 10 two-minute rounds.
The fight for the undisputed super lightweight championship, held by Taylor, is set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"This is the rematch the world has wanted to see, and I'm delighted that it's finally happening," Taylor said in a statement.
"The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I'm sure the rematch will be no different."
Taylor beat Serrano by split decision on April 30, 2022 at Madison Square Garden in New York and was the first women's boxing match to headline MSG.
"I promised my fans they would see this rematch," Serrano said.

"We made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible to show the world what elite women's boxing is all about.
"I believe I won our first fight, but I didn't get the decision, so this time I'm not leaving it to the judges."
Taylor's last fight was a majority decision win over Chantelle Cameron in November where she won the unified super lightweight title. Taylor lost to Cameron in May 2023.
Serrano has won her last four fights, but had to withdraw at the last minute from her last scheduled bout in December, when she was declared medically unfit because of an eye injury.
Tyson said: "Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are two of the best boxers in the world.
"I know they can both put on an incredible show, and I'm thrilled to have them join this card.
"These remarkable athletes will undoubtedly elevate the event with their global appeal and fan bases. Adding one of the greatest fights in women's boxing history to this unforgettable event is a true gift to fans."
