The Irish Katie Taylor retained the label of undisputed super lightweight champion by defeating the Puerto Rican Amanda Serrano by unanimous decision and in a controversial manner, who despite an injury to her left eyelid was brave. The battle was historic for women’s boxing by imposing a purse of at least six million dollars, the highest figure in this category.
Taylor, monarch of the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF, thus confirmed her hierarchy against Serrano, champion in seven different divisions, by beating her for the second time after having also won against her in April 2022, when both were the first female boxers to win a million dollars.
Now, versions indicated that Taylor would charge six million dollars to enter the ring, while Serrano would take up to eight million even when she arrived as a challenger, since her promoter Jake Paul was the organizer of the fight.
“It was a difficult fight, but I also congratulated Serrano. She hits very hard, I don’t care if the commentators agree or not, I know what happened in the ring,” Taylor said after winning.
Although Taylor was able to boast good technique, he also displayed a less than clean battle. With a headbutt in the fourth round, the Irishwoman caused Serrano a cut on her eyebrow and in the eighth round she relapsed into the same action for which she was sanctioned with one point.
Even with the spectacular wound, so deep and that it filled her face with blood, the Puerto Rican looked for Taylor at all times, who knew how to throw accurate blows while trying to escape from her rival, although she also ended up with a wound on her eyebrow.
With the defeat, both Serrano and his coach said they were willing to accept a third confrontation between the two but “this time without headbutts, so that everything is clean.”
Despite the controversy, the battle unleashed euphoria among the thousands of fans who gathered at the AT&T Stadium, Arlington, to watch the duel between the legendary Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, an influencer who is beginning his journey in boxing.

The evening also had a tricolor touch with the battle in which the Mexican-American Mario Azteca Barrios retained the WBC walterweight title with a draw against Abel Ramos, also of Sinaloan descent, a duel that lived up to expectations and in which both They touched the canvas for moments.
Only the Brazilian influencer Winderson Nunez was left behind with a low-level boxing show by adding two defeats in his budding career, now losing to the Indian Neeraj Goyat.
