Katie Taylor will not rematch Amanda Serrano this year after Eddie Hearn claimed Serrano and her promoter Jake Paul have turned down the fight.
Taylor retained her status as the undisputed lightweight champion in April with a hard-fought split decision win over Serrano at Madison Square Garden. The fight drew an audience of 1.5million viewers on DAZN to set a new women’s boxing viewership record.
Fans called for Taylor and Serrano, who became the first women to headline a boxing event at the famous New York arena, to meet again after their epic clash. Serrano and Paul seemed keen for the fight to take place in Dublin, but Hearn has now claimed the rematch will not be happening.
