At the iconic Theater at Madison Square Garden, the stage was set for one of the most significant moments in women’s boxing history. Undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) and unified featherweight world champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs) went face-to-face at the final press conference before their epic trilogy bout, streaming live this Friday, July 11 at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT exclusively on Netflix.
The final press conference was hosted by Ariel Helwani and featured fighters from both the main and preliminary cards of the first all-women’s professional boxing card ever to take place at Madison Square Garden. Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) co-founder Nakisa Bidarian was also on hand, announcing a $250,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus, to be awarded by Bidarian, Jake Paul, and boxing legend Laila Ali—with Ali having the final say in case of a split decision.
