Katie Taylor has voiced her frustration over the ongoing complaints from Amanda Serrano following their past encounters, ahead of their upcoming third showdown on Friday. The two fighters met at a press conference in New York, where Taylor asserted her current standing of 2-0 against Serrano, emphasizing, “I’m just sick of the complaining and whining from your team.”
In their last meeting, Taylor secured a unanimous decision victory in Texas, with all judges scoring the match tightly at 95-94 in her favor. This decision sparked controversy when Serrano claimed in a Netflix interview that Taylor had intentionally headbutted her during the fight. Taylor responded firmly, stating, “The only thing that matters is that I’m 2-0 against her. I plan on staying unbeaten against her.”
The stakes will be high when they face off at Madison Square Garden. In preparation for this rematch, Serrano has expressed that she plans to approach the fight more strategically, aiming to avoid the headbutts that resulted in a cut above her eye in their previous bout. She stated, “We’re going to be smarter… I believe that we can come out victorious. We will come out victorious.”
Taylor, eager to face the challenge once again, remarked, “I want to take the best fights… this was still the biggest fight in women’s boxing.” She underscored her commitment to seeking out formidable opponents, noting that personal records do not deter her from competing against the toughest competitors in the sport.
Both fighters are poised to deliver an intense match, reminiscent of their first encounter, which was celebrated as a classic. As they prepare for this highly anticipated bout, fans are left optimistic about witnessing a thrilling showdown between these two champions once again, adding to the excitement around women’s boxing and its growing prominence on the global stage.
