Croke Park will not host Katie Taylor's trilogy fight with Amanda Serrano
Katie Taylor will fight Amanda Serrano for a third time on an all-women's card at Madison Square Garden - and not Croke Park - this summer.
However, the judges' scorecards were incredibly close, with the three of them all scoring the bout 95-94.It had been hoped that the bout could be staged at Croke Park, but promoter Eddie Hearn ruled that out last week, while the Sphere in Las Vegas was also mentioned as a possible venue. Promoters Most Valuable Promotions, say the trilogy fight "underscores a groundbreaking commitment to women’s boxing during Women’s History Month, not only featuring the first-ever all-women’s card in MSG history but also setting a new financial standard for female fighters with Taylor and Serrano set to receive record-breaking purses".
"The atmosphere for the first fight there was amazing and I'm sure it won't be any different this time around. The numbers that got to see the last fight in November were incredible so hopefully those people will all want to tune in for the trilogy fight as well and we can deliver another great fight."
"I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds, equal to the men.
