**Taylor Defeats Serrano in Thrilling Trilogy Bout, Retains Undisputed Super Lightweight Titles**

**NEW YORK CITY, NY** – Katie Taylor cemented her legacy as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, defeating Amanda Serrano via majority decision on Friday night in a closely contested battle at Madison Square Garden. The victory allows Taylor to retain her undisputed super lightweight (136 pounds) titles and complete a trilogy sweep over the seven-division champion.

Two judges scored the fight 97-93 in favor of Taylor, while the third scored it a draw (95-95). Despite both fighters landing the same amount of punches (70), Taylor edged out Serrano with a slight advantage in power punches (57-49), particularly in the final two rounds, where she showcased her aggression and skill.

“This was a grueling fight, a true testament to the skill and heart of both fighters,” said a visibly emotional Taylor after the match.

Serrano, while gracious in defeat, acknowledged the competitiveness of the fight. “Katie is a tough opponent, and we both left it all in the ring tonight,” she stated.

The highly anticipated bout headlined an all-women’s card broadcast on Netflix and co-promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. This marked the third encounter between Taylor and Serrano. Their first fight, held on April 30, 2022, in New York, was hailed as the biggest women’s boxing match in history, with Taylor securing a split decision victory. Their second fight happened in November 2024 as part of the co-main event for the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight which aired on Netflix and averaged 74 million viewers globally with an average minute audience (AMA) of 47 million. Taylor won by unanimous decision that sparked controversy.

With this victory, Taylor now boasts a professional record of 25 wins and one loss, cementing her status alongside Serrano and Claressa Shields as a true icon of women’s boxing. Serrano’s record stands at 47 wins, four losses, and one draw.

The event showcased the continued growth and popularity of women’s boxing, drawing significant viewership and further solidifying its place in the mainstream sports landscape.
