Taylor vs. Serrano: A Rematch on the Horizon?
Hearn Eyes Classic Rematch for Taylor
Eddie Hearn, the Matchroom boss, has indicated that a rematch with Amanda Serrano is the most likely next bout for Irish boxing star Katie Taylor. This potential fight follows Taylor’s redemptive victory over Chantelle Cameron last November, where she avenged her first professional loss. With the fading likelihood of a third match with Cameron, the focus shifts back to Serrano, setting the stage for a much-anticipated rematch.
Renewed Negotiations
Hearn revealed ongoing discussions with Serrano’s team at Most Valuable Promotions, emphasizing the strong potential of the matchup. “It’s an obvious fight for them both, the first one was a classic,” Hearn stated, highlighting the memorable nature of their initial encounter at Madison Square Garden in April 2022. Despite previous setbacks in scheduling a rematch—most notably a postponed fight in Dublin due to Serrano’s injury—the negotiations appear rejuvenated, with hopes high for a conclusive agreement.
Possible Venue: Las Vegas Sphere
The Las Vegas Sphere is being considered as a potential venue for this high-stakes rematch, promising a spectacular setting for fight fans. As talks continue, the boxing community eagerly anticipates confirmation, with Hearn’s remarks fueling speculation about the event materializing later this year.
Taylor’s resilience and Serrano’s prowess could once again electrify the boxing world, potentially writing another chapter in their riveting rivalry.
