Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) have unveiled plans for the exclusive streaming of the much-anticipated rematch between undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs).
The event, titled Taylor vs. Serrano 2, is scheduled to stream live on Netflix on Saturday, July 20, 2024. The rematch will be the co-main event alongside the heavyweight match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Taylor and Serrano previously made history as the first-ever female fighters to headline Madison Square Garden in 2022. Their bout received global acclaim and earned the pair recognition from Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year. The rematch for the undisputed super lightweight championship, promises to be another momentous event, with Taylor defending all her super lightweight belts.
Commenting on the announcement, Katie Taylor stated, “The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different. I want to thank Matchroom and DAZN for their help in making the fight possible and I’m looking forward to defending my titles as Undisputed World Champion in Dallas on Saturday, July 20.”

Amanda Serrano, known for her historic achievements in the sport, shared her anticipation for the rematch, saying, “While my focus continues to be on giving women the choice to fight with the same rules as men, I’ve always said that this is the one fight I’d go back to 10x2 for if that’s what Katie wanted. I’m coming for her belts, she wants 10x2, so that’s what we will do. I believe I won our first fight, but I didn’t get the decision, so this time I’m not leaving it to the judges.”
