Katie Taylor’s anticipated trilogy bout with Chantelle Cameron appears to be postponed as reports suggest Taylor’s next opponent will likely be her old rival Amanda Serrano. The potential fight with Cameron, initially set for Dublin’s Croke Park in May, seems to have been put on hold. Taylor’s revenge win against Cameron in November heightened the interest in a third showdown between them.
Instead, Taylor is rumored to face Amanda Serrano at the Las Vegas Sphere, with the bout potentially taking place as early as June. Matchroom Boxing, Taylor’s promoter, is expected to make a formal announcement regarding the fight soon. Eddie Hearn, Matchroom’s representative, has expressed enthusiasm about the prospect, highlighting the significance of a rematch between Taylor and Serrano.
Amanda Serrano, a Puerto Rican boxer, suffered a split decision loss to Taylor in April 2022, in what was hailed as a historic women’s boxing match. Since then, Serrano has secured four consecutive victories, enhancing her record to 46-2-1. Serrano’s eagerness for a quick return to the ring became evident after a planned bout with Nina Meinke fell through due to a last-minute injury related to a hair product that affected her vision.
Eddie Hearn believes that a Stateside fight against Serrano aligns well with Taylor’s ambitions for big fights, especially considering the success of their previous encounter at Madison Square Garden.
The potential match with Serrano presents an appealing option for Taylor, considering the magnitude of their previous bout and the desire for significant challenges in her career. As negotiations progress, the boxing world awaits an official announcement regarding Taylor’s next opponent and the venue for the highly anticipated showdown.
