Whenever Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano collide, they break records. Back in 2022, the duo made history by selling out a 20,000-capacity crowd at MSG. Two years later, they met again at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, and broke the viewership record for a women’s boxing match. And in a few hours, they will lock horns for the third time, on a first-ever all-women’s boxing card in history.

Everyone can question the logic behind this trilogy, given Katie Taylor is already 2-0. However, there is no doubt that when these two return to Madison Square Garden in New York, there will be fireworks. And with the undisputed super lightweight championship on the line, the stakes are higher than ever. So, before the show begins, let’s check out a few important details.

What time will the Taylor vs. Serrano 3 fight start? Date and venue

The fight is set for Friday, July 11, with Serrano and Taylor returning to the arena where it all began. For the second time, Serrano and Taylor will headline at the iconic Madison Square Garden together. Serrano’s team, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, are expecting the excited New York crowd to fill out the 20,000-capacity arena again. Known as the “Mecca of Boxing”, there could not have been a better venue than MSG for this landmark moment than the place where Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought for the first time in 1971 in a clash dubbed “Fight of the Century.”
