Netflix to live stream Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano boxing rematch

Streaming giant Netflix’s forays into the world of live sports continue. And, this time it’s women’s boxing.

The streamer and event company Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) yesterday announced that after two years, Matchroom’s undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) will step back in the ring for the most anticipated women’s boxing rematch against  trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs).

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will stream live globally and exclusively on Netflix on July 20 from the 80,000-seat capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, the streamer said in a media statement.

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will be the co-main event to the recently announced heavyweight match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson as part of Netflix and MVP’s first-ever partnership.

This will mark Taylor and Serrano’s long-awaited rematch following their historic bout at Madison Square Garden in 2022, where they made history as the first-ever women fighters to headline an event in the venue’s history. The bout ended in a narrow split decision in favour of Taylor and garnered global acclaim for both fighters earning Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year for 2022.

“This is the rematch the world has wanted to see and I’m delighted that it’s finally happening,” said Taylor in a statement, adding, “The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.

“I want to thank Matchroom and DAZN for their help in making the fight possible and I’m looking forward to defending my titles as Undisputed World Champion in Dallas on Saturday, July 20.”

Serrano said, “I promised my fans they would see this rematch after we made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible to show the world what elite women’s boxing is all about.

 “While my focus continues to be on giving women the choice to fight with the same rules as men, I’ve always said that this is the one fight I’d go back to 10×2 for if that’s what Katie wanted. I’m coming for her belts, she wants 10×2, so that’s what we will do.”

Taylor vs. Serrano 2 marks the latest in MVP’s series of significant women’s championship fights as the company works to establish equity across the sport.

“When we announced Paul vs. Tyson, we stated that this would be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history and we’re here to deliver on a card worthy of that greatness,” said Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of MVP.

Netflix, which houses some of the best sports films, will become the new home of WWE Raw. Paul vs. Tyson and Serrano vs. Taylor 2 will be Netflix’s third live sports event, following The Netflix Cup and The Netflix Slam.

“Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano captivated the sports world during their first fight two years ago, and fans have been clamoring to see them in the ring together again ever since,” said Gabe Spitzer, Vice President, Nonfiction Sports, Netflix.
