NETFLIX AND MOST VALUABLE PROMOTIONS ANNOUNCE THE MOST ANTICIPATED WOMEN'S BOXING REMATCH IN HISTORY, KATIE TAYLOR VS AMANDA SERRANO, STREAMING LIVE EXCLUSIVELY ON NETFLIX ON SATURDAY, JULY 20

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will be the co-main event of Paul vs. Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with their rematch to be contested for the undisputed super lightweight championship as Taylor puts all her super lightweight belts on the line

Pound-for-pound stars Taylor and Serrano previously made history as the first-ever female fighters to headline Madison Square Garden, a bout that garnered both fighters global acclaim and earned the pair the distinction of Sports Illustrated's Fight of the Year and The Ring's Event of the Year in 2022

Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced that after two years, Matchroom's undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) will step back in the ring for the most anticipated women's boxing rematch against trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda "The Real Deal" Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs). Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will stream live globally, exclusively on Netflix on Saturday, July 20, 2024 from the 80,000-seat capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will be the co-main event to the recently announced heavyweight match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson as part of Netflix and MVP's first-ever partnership. This will mark Taylor and Serrano's long-awaited rematch following their historic bout at Madison Square Garden in 2022, where they made history as the first-ever women fighters to headline an event in the iconic venue's history. The bout ended in a narrow split decision in favor of Taylor and garnered global acclaim for both fighters earning Sports Illustrated's Fight of the Year and The Ring's Event of the Year for 2022. Taylor vs. Serrano was also nominated for Sports Business Journal's Event of the Year, a testament to the global reach and power of the event. The rematch between ESPN-ranked pound-for-pound powerhouses, #2 Taylor and #3 Serrano, will be contested for the undisputed super lightweight championship marking a jump of two weight classes from Serrano's normal featherweight division as Taylor puts all her super lightweight belts on the line. The women's undisputed megafight will be contested across 10, two-minute rounds, Serrano's only break from fighting 12x3, the men's championship standard, for the remainder of her career. Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 is anticipated to be the biggest boxing event in modern history, and fans can sign up for presale ticket access at mostvaluablepromotions.com.

Irish sensation Katie Taylor once again reaches for greatness as she meets Amanda Serrano in a rematch - with Taylor looking to add another remarkable chapter to her incredible boxing career as she defends her undisputed Super-Lightweight title. Taylor defeated Serrano at a sold-out Madison Square Garden in April 2022 in a stunning fight of the year contest that saw Taylor successfully defend the undisputed Lightweight title that she won in the same arena in June 2019 against Belgian Delfina Persoon. Taylor became a two-weight undisputed champion in her last outing in November, overcoming Chantelle Cameron in a rematch of their closely fought battle in April, with both fights taking place at a sold-out 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. She first got her hands on world honors in her seventh pro fight, claiming the vacant WBA Lightweight title in Cardiff against Anahi Sanchez in October 2017, and has been in 17 straight world title contests since that night en-route to becoming a two-weight undisputed ruler.

"This is the rematch the world has wanted to see and I'm delighted that it's finally happening," said Katie Taylor. "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, the first-ever Puerto Rican undisputed world champion and seven-division world champion, started her current featherweight title reign by defeating Heather Hardy in a brutal 10-round fight in 2019 to win the WBO belt, and has since defended her WBO belt six times. Serrano offered Hardy a chance at redemption in August 2023, but successfully defended her undisputed featherweight world champion title for the first time in a decisive 10 round unanimous decision victory. Serrano also won a blood-soaked war against WBA featherweight champion Erika Cruz in February 2023, which made her the undisputed featherweight champion. Serrano's decisive win against Cruz followed her previous win over Sarah Mahfoud in Manchester, England that added the Dane's IBF title to her WBO, WBC, and IBO featherweight belts. Most recently, Serrano took home a unanimous decision victory against her mandatory WBO challenger Danila Ramos, making history in the first-ever women's unified world championship to be fought over 12, three-minute rounds, equal to any men's championship fight, and marking the first time a women's fight has gone the full 12x3. Serrano threw a career high 1,103 punches in the bout. In a true commitment to change for women's boxing, Serrano recently vacated her WBC title, as the sanctioning body does not support women's choice for 12x3. Serrano, whose natural weight is 126 pounds, now steps up to super lightweight to face Taylor for the second time, aiming to add the Irish fighter's belts to her current featherweight hardware in what would be a championship in her eighth weight class.

"I promised my fans they would see this rematch after we made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible to show the world what elite women's boxing is all about," said Amanda Serrano. "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. I am honored to share this iconic MVP card in the biggest stadium, on the biggest streaming platform in the world. Thank you Nakisa, Jake, Mike and Netflix for making this happen. And to all the young girls and women watching, I want you to know that anything is possible. Keep dreaming, keep working hard, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. It took me 15 years of blood, sweat and tears to get here, but it's all worth it because I'm living my dreams."

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 marks the latest in MVP's series of significant women's championship fights as the company works to establish equity across the sport. The event follows Amanda Serrano's first-ever 12x3 unified championship fight vs. challenger Danila Ramos in October and the Paul vs. August special championship feature of MVP's Shadasia "The Sweet Terminator" Green vs. Franchón Crews-Dezurn for the WBC and WBA super middleweight world titles.

"When we announced Paul vs. Tyson, we stated that this would be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history and we're here to deliver on a card worthy of that greatness," said Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. "Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor have proven that they are two of the biggest names in the sport, male or female and it's only fitting for them to be a part of this massive global event. Anyone who witnessed their first battle knows the unforgettable atmosphere and performance Amanda and Katie bring when they step into the ring together, and this is sure to be a fight of the year contender again. Bringing attention to women's boxing has always been a priority for MVP and we are thrilled to give the world's most-anticipated women's boxing fight ever a crowning moment on Netflix. Thank you to Matchroom and DAZN for working with MVP and Netflix to make this historic fight come to fruition."

"Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are two of the best boxers in the world," said Mike Tyson. "I know they can both put on an incredible show, and I'm thrilled to have them join this card. These remarkable athletes will undoubtedly elevate the event with their global appeal and fan bases. Adding one of the greatest fights in women's boxing history to this unforgettable event is a true gift to fans. Saturday, July 20 can't get here soon enough."

"We are thrilled to partner with MVP to bring this epic rematch to Netflix subscribers all over the world on Saturday, July 20th, in what will be an unforgettable night alongside Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson."
