Tonight (Friday), Katie Taylor will be facing off with Amanda Serrano in a highly anticipated trilogy bout. Ireland’s undisputed world junior welterweight champion Katie “The Bray Bomber” Taylor (24–1, 6 KOs) will go head-to-head with Brooklyn’s Puerto Rican unified featherweight world champion, Serrano (47–3–1, 31 KOs). The fight comes eight months after the pair’s second go-round at Paul vs. Tyson, which Taylor won. Taylor vs. Serrano II was the most-watched professional women’s sports event in US history, with an estimated 74 million live viewers globally. “I’m 2-0 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,” Taylor said of the upcoming rematch at MSG. “The atmosphere for the first fight there was amazing, and I’m sure it won’t be any different this time around.” Just like the pair’s first two matches, the fight on July 11th will be made up of 10, two-minute rounds, though Serrano hoped for a different round structure.
“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,” said Serrano. “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 owe 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.”

MVP’s reigning undisputed 130-pound champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring to face Spain’s undefeated WBA interim champion Jennifer Miranda (12-0, 1 KO). “Amanda and Katie have done incredible things for women’s boxing, and it’s an honor to share the card with them. But I didn’t come to stand beside greatness — I came to be it,” said Baumgardner.
“This night, this spotlight — it’s mine. Jennifer Miranda, I hope you’re ready — because I’m the one they warned you about. The pretty face with bad intentions. When that bell rings, it’s not personal, but it is going to hurt. My belts are staying with me.”
Miranda, who is currently ranked by Boxrec as the No. 3 featherweight in the world, plans to give the title-defender a run for her money in the10-round fight. You can also find her on Netflix in the Spanish series Money Heist — she plays Arantxa Arteche, a soldier in the special forces known for her skills in (you guessed it) combat.
“Alycia Baumgardner is an incredible champion, but this is my opportunity to become the first ever undisputed champion from Spain and I will do so,” said Miranda. “It’s time to write my name in the history books of boxing. Undisputed.”

The fight marks the culmination of years of rivalry between Marshall and Green, both now signed under MVP’s women’s banner.
“Defending my IBF belt in a unification fight with Shadasia Green, on an all-women’s card such as this, is a great way to start my new journey with MVP,” Marshall told Netflix. “There are so many great women on one show at the iconic Madison Square Garden, and I’m beaming that I can play my part in it.”
Green is MVP’s first homegrown champion and WBO world titleholder at 168 pounds — when headlining the preliminary card of Paul vs. Tyson in November 2024, Green defeated Melinda Watpool to become the new WBO world champion. “I’m looking forward to putting on a great show, and I’m certain that Marshall will bring the best out of me,” said Green.

Yamileth Mercado might be the longest reigning champion in our division right now, but on July 11, I’ll be showing why I’m the No. 1 at 122 pounds and moving one step closer to becoming the undisputed champion.”
Mercado is the longest-reigning titleholder in the division, having defended her belt eight times since winning it in 2019 on home soil in Chihuahua, Mexico. “I am very excited to unify titles with Ellie Scotney and raise my WBC belt for my country, Mexico, and my home in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, on MVP’s card at Madison Square Garden and in front of the world on Netflix,” Mercado said. “This fight will be a war, and we will continue to demonstrate that women's boxing brings a guarantee of both spectacle and boxing quality on Friday, July 11. Viva Mexico!”
