Katie Taylor retained her status as the undisputed lightweight world champion with a razor-thin split decision win over Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden last night.
The iconic duo became the first women to headline a boxing event at the famous New York arena, and earned millions for their undisputed title fight. Much of the pre-fight build-up centred around the friendly rivalry between promoters Jake Paul and Eddie Hearn, but by bell time, all eyes were on the women of the moment.
They subsequently played out a tremendous ten-round contest which had the capacity crowd enthralled, and seemingly set up a major-money rematch of this back-and-forth brawl.
