- The pair will bank a new seven-figure record payday in Friday’s huge contest
- Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano previously earned £1m in their first bout
- That total is now set to be eclipsed when they meet in a second title showdown
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will bank a new record purse for women’s boxing in their massive title belt showdown on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s clash against Jake Paul.
The pair will go head-to-head in a grudge rematch contest on Friday evening with Ireland-born star Taylor putting her IBF, WBC and WBO super-lightweight belts on the line.
Serrano will be attempting to get one over her fierce opponent two-years on from their first showstopping encounter that ended with Taylor reigning victorious via a split decision at Madison Square Garden.
The contest at the time was regarded by many as the greatest female fight of all-time as Taylor and Serrano exchanged an array of vicious blows across 10 rounds.
The legendary bout earned both fighters more than £1m and that sum is now expected to be more than doubled for their second clash staged at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium.

Appearing on the undercard of Tyson v Paul will generate huge seven-figure paydays for both boxers in a new landmark showing for women’s boxing with Serrano claiming she will earn more than Taylor.
The official purses haven’t been revealed, but Taylor is believed to be set to cash-in on a £4.7m payday to defend her world titles, according to reports in the Republic of Ireland.
Their first contest initially broke the record, with Taylor and Serrano now more than doubling the purse this time round with a huge streaming audience expected to tune-in for Tyson’s return to the ring.
Serrano has hailed Paul for increasing the financial rewards for women’s boxing after signing to his label Most Valuable Promotions having once been paid under £1000 for her professional debut.

Previously posting on X, the Puerto Rican boxer stated: ‘Just for the Record LADIES! Katie & I are making the Biggest purses in the Sports History for female Boxing.
‘We made the 1st single Million dollar payday in our 1st fight on this one we both Shattered that! For the young ladies coming up Stay FOCUSED, conduct yourself RIGHT & fight HARD Those Numbers Can Happen for you also.
‘Just know it takes marketing yourself outside as well. In sponsors alone Millions are attainable also. Work Hard Stay Humble & Get Rich,’ she added.
However, Taylor could be left without a penny after fighting Serrano having bet her entire purse with Paul that the Youtuber-turned-boxer would lose against 58-year-old Tyson.
