Katie Taylor is chasing her third win against Amanda Serrano when the pair meet at Madison Square Garden, New York, on Friday night (3.30am BST, Netflix).

Taylor last defeated Serrano via unanimous decision in Texas in November, when all three judges scored the fight 95-94 in favour of the Irish fighter.

After the fight, Serrano accused Taylor of intentional headbutting, so this rematch has an added edge.

Their first meeting was at the same venue as Friday’s fight back in 2022, when Taylor won by a split decision.

After two such close fights, Serrano will believe she can finally get some kind of revenge this time out, and betting sites are on her side, making her the odds-on favourite for victory.

Taylor is the outsider, despite having only one loss on her record, but she will be confident that after beating Serrano twice, she knows how to do it again.

Draw	15/1	Unibet

Following that first fight, Taylor suffered her first defeat, in 22 fights, when she was beaten by Chantelle Cameron by a majority decision. She immediately got revenge in the rematch six months later, when she won by a majority decision.

The defeats to Taylor are Serrano's only losses since 2012, when she was beaten by Frida Wallberg. Since then, she has won another 33 fights and gone on to become the undisputed featherweight champion.

In total, she is a seven-weight world champion, while Taylor has won undisputed titles in two different weight classes.

Serrano, 36, has a slight advantage in the age stakes but with age comes experience, and 39-year-old Taylor has already declared she is sick of her opponent's "whining and complaining."

Boxing betting sites expect this fight to go the distance once more, with a best price of 1/6 available on both fighters hearing the final bell. With that in mind, there may be value in backing Taylor to win via the judge’s scorecard given her previous success and the mental scars that may have left on Serrano.
