The rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, who are both undisputed in their respective weight classes, has been postponed following an announcement by Matchroom Boxing on their social media platforms. The fight was originally set for May 20th in Dublin, Ireland, but will now be moved up to a date that has yet to be determined.

“Due to an injury sustained by Amanda Serrano, Matchroom Boxing and Most Valuable Promotions regret to announce that the Taylor-Serrano II bout on May 20 in Dublin will not go ahead as planned. The teams are in discussions about finding a revised date for the bout. Further details will follow in due course.” Read Matchroom Boxing’s Twitter message.

Amanda Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KO’s) seemed eager to avenge the tight-knit loss to Katie Taylor (22-0, 6 KO’s) after she defeated Erika Cruz (15-2, 3 KO’s) to become undisputed for the first time in history. The two first faced off against each other in April of 2022 in women’s match that could have gone either way, and broke attendance records. Both boxers are known as some of the best female fighters of the modern era, and had been tipped to fight each other for many years before they finally met in the ring.

It is still undetermined if Katie Taylor will take another fight in the meantime, or simply wait patiently for Serrano to recover, but with both fighters already having penned a contract to fight each other, it is almost a certainty that the fight will be arranged as soon as Serrano is better, hence the postponement rather than an outright cancellation.
