Taylor-Serrano Trilogy Could Launch Women's Boxing Into New Era
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 14 – Katie Taylor won by majority decision in a closely contested trilogy finale, landing 41.6% power punches to Amanda Serrano's 29.7%, in a historic all-women's boxing event.
Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano by majority decision in their third boxing match on Friday at Madison Square Garden, retaining her undisputed super lightweight title.
The fight capped a rivalry that began in April 2022 and followed their second bout in November 2024, both landmark events that elevated women's boxing.
The trilogy fight headlined an all-women's card with a record 17 titles on the line, drawing a passionate crowd of 19,721 and producing the highest gate ever for a women's boxing event at MSG.
The average minute audience was about 6 million, including 4.2 million U.S. viewers, and promoter Eddie Hearn said the night created big paydays and opportunities for female fighters.
This historic trilogy may represent a watershed moment that brings women’s boxing closer to equal footing with men, though Taylor expressed uncertainty about returning to the ring.
