The anticipation is palpable as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano gear up for their highly-anticipated third bout at Madison Square Garden on July 11. This historic event, available exclusively on Netflix, marks the first-ever all-women’s boxing card at the iconic venue.
Their previous encounter was a global sensation, watched by a staggering 74 million viewers worldwide, solidifying its place as the most-watched women’s sporting event in U.S. history. With Taylor and Serrano headlining once again, this upcoming fight promises to be nothing short of epic.
But it’s not just about the main event; the entire fight card is stacked with talent and fierce competition. In fact, this event will see a record-breaking 21 world championship belts contested across five fights – a remarkable feat in both male and female boxing during the four-belt era.
As fans eagerly await the showdown between Taylor and Serrano, let’s take a closer look at some of the other exciting matchups that will unfold on this historic night:
In the co-main event, undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner will face off against undefeated WBA Interim world champion Jennifer Miranda from Spain. This clash of titans is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The main card also features IBF super middleweight world champion Savannah “The Silent Assassin” Marshall taking on WBO super middleweight world champion Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green in what promises to be a battle for supremacy in the ring.
Additionally, England’s unified super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney will go head-to-head with Mexico’s WBC super bantamweight world champion Yamileth “Yeimi” Mercado in a matchup that showcases skill and determination.
On the preliminary card, reigning WBA bantamweight world champion Cherneka “Sugar Neekz” Johnson will test her mettle against IBF bantamweight world champion Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf in an intense battle of champions.
Former undisputed champion Chantelle “Il Capo” Cameron faces off against Canada’s Jessica “The Cobra” Camara in a showdown that promises fireworks inside the ring.

And let’s not forget about two-time Canadian Olympian Tamm Thibeault taking on Mary Casamassa – the #1 contender across multiple prestigious boxing organizations – setting the stage for an electrifying match-up filled with suspense and excitement.
A standout feature of this event is that it will follow men’s rules with three-minute rounds lasting eight rounds – leveling up women’s boxing competition even further. However, there was controversy surrounding Taylor and Serrano agreeing on ten two-minute rounds instead of twelve three-minute rounds for their bout. Despite this disagreement over timing regulations, both fighters are gearing up for an intense battle that promises to be unforgettable.
Amanda Serrano expressed her disappointment regarding this decision but remains focused on delivering an outstanding performance come fight night:
“I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word… Every time we share the ring, it is war.”
Having faced each other previously in April 2022 and November 2024, these seasoned fighters bring years of experience and skill into this highly-anticipated rematch. Serrano stands as Puerto Rico’s first-ever undisputed world champion while Taylor continues to make her mark as one of boxing’s top athletes.
With so much talent packed into one extraordinary event at Madison Square Garden – including marquee names like Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano leading the charge – fans can expect nothing less than an exhilarating showcase of athleticism, determination, and pure combat sports excitement come July 11th.
