The highly anticipated rematch between Irish boxing star Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano is finally upon us, and the stakes are higher than ever.
Joining the ticket of the eagerly anticipated fight between veteran heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson and online influencer Jake Paul, Taylor's fight sees her once again facing off against Serrano, who she narrowly beat in their last bout at Madison Square Garden in 2022.
Undisputed lightweight champion Taylor will fight Serrano late tonight, with many Irish fans expected to stay up late for the big event. The co-ticket event will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Here's all you need to know ahead of the match:
When does the fight start?
The co-main event featuring Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano is expected to kick off around 3am Irish time. Tyson vs. Paul will follow at around 4am. There are five fights before Taylor-Serrano 2, so some delays are expected.
Where can I watch the fight?
The fight will be broadcast live on Netflix, with any of the 282 million subscribers able to tune in for the event. The fights are the first live sports events on the streaming service, who will be providing exclusive coverage from around 1am Irish time.
What do I need to know ahead of the fight?
38-year-old Katie Taylor is set to defend her status as undisputed world light-welterweight champion in her second showdown against Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano.
Taylor won a narrow all-action contest with Serrano by a split decision in 2022 on a historic night at Madison Square Garden.
The first Taylor v Serrano fight was the first women’s boxing match to headline at the famous New York venue and the duo will add more weight to their legacy with this fight at AT&T Stadium set to be broadcast by Netflix, which has more than 260million paid memberships globally.
This will be Taylor’s first fight in almost a year after she produced a stellar display to claim a majority decision victory over Chantelle Cameron in Dublin last November.
It avenged Taylor’s first defeat of her professional career to Cameron earlier in 2023.
What are the current betting odds?
Katie Taylor win 5/6
Amanda Serrano 11/10
