Katie Taylor next fight update as Amanda Serrano accused of not chasing rematch

Katie Taylor is likely to fight again in October, according to her promoter Eddie Hearn.

An opponent has yet to be named for the undisputed lightweight champion, who hasn't fought since beating Amanda Serrano in a fight of the year contender at Madison Square Garden almost three months ago, but it is understood that MMA fighters Holly Holm and Cris Cyborg are both towards the top of the shortlist.

Matchroom boss Hearn claims Serrano is not "actively seeking" a rematch with Taylor, with the Puerto Rican going back to featherweight to defend her WBO, WBC and IBO titles against Argentina’s Brenda Carbajal on the undercard of her promoter Jake Paul's fight with Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6.
