Thanks to Jake Paul and his team at Most Valuable Promotions, the ‘World’s Most Famous Arena‘ will host a string of all-women fights tonight. And the best part: beginning with the Katie TaylorAmanda Serrano headliner, there are five world title fights at stake! Several fans await the Shakur Stevenson and Edgar Berlanga double headliner at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. However, the Netflix-streamed card at MSG seems to have gained a separate fan base.

For the record, it was at MSG, where Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano’s legendary rivalry took shape three years ago. Even some of the well-known names from the sport have been raving about the event. Laila Ali’s nephew, Nico Ali Walsh, had been involved in a back-and-forth with Jake Paul. Still, Ali believes followers should tune in as the momentous show unfolds in New York.

Hey, it’s Laila Ali. I just wanted to check in with you and remind you that you need to mark your calendar and remember to turn on Netflix tomorrow night and watch the Taylor-Serrano rematch,” said the former world champion and Muhammad Ali’s daughter.
