The chosen arena will be the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York, and the event will be broadcast on the streaming platform Netflix without any additional cost, set to start at 18:00 CST. Here is our Pay Per Head analysis and prediction.
Why Taylor vs. Serrano 3 is a Must-Watch Event
This will be the third time that both boxers have faced each other. The first time was in April 2022, in New York, where Taylor won by unanimous decision in a duel considered historic. Then, in November 2024, in Texas, Taylor repeated with a win, but this time it was marred by controversy, and also came with an injured Amanda Serrano.
This time, both fighters agree that this will be the definitive fight that will determine who is the best in the rivalry, closing a cycle that has elevated female boxing globally over the last years. The previous battle drew over 74 million spectators, surpassing the record for female events.
No matter if Taylor wins in the ring, this fight marks a great victory for women’s sport, and Netflix backing it up puts the global spotlight on it and sets a precedent for how female-led events can be delivered. Will Taylor seal her legacy? Will Serrado change the narrative? We’ll see this Friday.
