It was business between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are taking women’s boxing to new heights – quite literally.
The two boxing stars faced off Tuesday on top of the Empire State Building ahead of their highly anticipated trilogy bout – which takes place Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The championship fight serves as the headliner to an all-women’s boxing card that streams on Netflix.
Given what’s at stake, the faceoff was tense, but also respectful. The two broke a smile mid-staredown. YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul, who’s promoting the event under Most Valuable Promotion, led the faceoff.

Taylor, 39, is putting her undisputed super lightweight title on the line against 36-year-old Serrano.
Taylor won their first two encounters. In 2022, Taylor overcame adversity to escape with a split decision win at MSG. Then last November, Taylor and Serrano put on an instant classic, with Taylor winning by unanimous decision amid some headbutt controversy at the Dallas Cowboys‘ AT&T Stadium. The rematch was the co-main event to the heavily hyped Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Netflix. Taylor vs. Serrano 3 is considered the biggest rivalry in the history of women’s boxing.
