Ireland’s boxing icon Katie Taylor has once again proven why she remains one of the sport’s greatest. In an electrifying third showdown at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Taylor edged past Amanda Serrano on a majority decision, wrapping up their legendary trilogy in style.
Epic Night at Madison Square Garden
The iconic arena was sold out for this historic bout, which also marked the first-ever all-female fight card hosted at MSG. Two judges scored it 97-93 for Taylor, while the third called it even at 95-95.
While this fight wasn’t the brutal war seen in their earlier clashes, it was just as gripping. Both fighters engaged in a tense chess match, with Taylor staying smart and economical throughout.
Taylor’s Smart Tactics Pay Off
Amanda Serrano showed glimpses of success in the middle rounds but couldn’t maintain her pressure. Taylor’s quick feet, sharp counters, and signature flurries turned the tide when it mattered most.
“I want to thank Amanda Serrano, what an amazing fighter,” Taylor said in the ring. “I boxed smart, she wasn’t catching much tonight. We have made history three times now.”
Serrano Admits Her Plan Fell Short
Serrano, too, accepted the result without protest. Her new strategy of fighting from distance and focusing on long punches didn’t pay off the way she hoped.
“I tried something different, it just wasn’t enough,” she said, praising Taylor’s ability to adapt and close the contest strong.

What’s Next for Katie Taylor?
With the Serrano trilogy complete, questions turn to what lies ahead for Katie Taylor. She hinted at a possible third fight with Chantelle Cameron to settle their score. However, Taylor took a dig, saying, “Chantelle has to see if she can sell out an arena first.”
Fans still dream of seeing Taylor fight at Croke Park, but scheduling and cost challenges might push that possibility into 2026 by which time she’ll be 40.
“I don’t have anything left to prove,” Taylor said. “I’ll take my time before deciding what’s next.”
How the Fight Played Out
The clash started cautiously, with both women hesitant to commit fully early on. Taylor’s flurries in the third round lit up the crowd and set the tone. Serrano tried to rally in the middle rounds but found Taylor’s counters too sharp.
Despite moments of danger, Taylor handled them calmly, landing crisp shots and frustrating Serrano’s attempts to force a late turnaround.
When the final bell rang, the Irish fans inside MSG erupted. After three unforgettable fights, Katie Taylor remains the undisputed queen and one of the greatest ever to step into the ring.
