Kayla Harrison praises Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano: ‘They raised women athletes to a whole new level’

ARLINGTON, Texas – They don’t share the same sport, but Kayla Harrison can respect the work Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano displayed in their historic boxing title fight last weekend.

Taylor overcame adversity to defeat Serrano in a split decision and retain her undisputed lightweight championship in front of a sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. Taylor vs. Serrano arguably was the biggest and most high profile fight in women’s boxing history.

Harrison (12-0), a two-time PFL champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, has a new level of respect for Taylor and Serrano and what they were able to do for women’s boxing and women’s sports in general.
