​

After two extremely close and record-breaking fights, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will square off for a third time for Taylor's undisputed super lightweight championship on July 11 and headline a historic all-women's boxing card at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The event, promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, will be streamed live on Netflix.

"It's only fitting that during Women's History Month that we are able to announce this must-see trilogy between two of the greatest female athletes of all time, on an all-women's card," Jake Paul said to ESPN.

"Unlike many new and old incumbents in boxing, MVP has, does and will always champion women as equals to men, treating them with supreme respect and we will never compromise on those values," MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said. "This all-women's card is not only a testament to how far the sport has come but also the beginning of an even greater push from MVP to elevate the next generation of female fighters."

Taylor and Serrano's previous two encounters were history-making events. Their initial meeting happened on April 30, 2022, and was the first time women headlined a fight card at Madison Square Garden. Taylor won a close split decision in front of a sold-out crowd. The rematch served as chief support of Paul's blockbuster showdown with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on Nov. 15, 2024. Taylor successfully defended her undisputed super lightweight titles with a controversial unanimous decision over Serrano.

Their rematch was streamed on Netflix and shattered records with 74 million average viewers globally, becoming the most-watched women's sporting event in U.S. history and was named the 2024 Women's Fight of the Year by ESPN.

"After we finished the fight on Nov. 15, Netflix came to us and said they wanted to do more with Most Valuable Promotions," Bidarian told ESPN. "The one thing they were absolutely clear on is that they wanted to see this trilogy and we came back to them with the idea of doing an all-women's event that would really uplift the women of the sport on their platform with over 300 million global subscribers. They bought in immediately."

Like Paul-Tyson, Netflix will stream the blockbuster event on a Friday night. The all-women's undercard will be announced at a later date.

"Madison Square Garden has been home to the biggest boxing matches in history -- including the 'Fight of the Century,' and the 2022 bout between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano," said Joel Fisher, executive vice president, marquee events and operations for MSG Entertainment. "We are proud to welcome these extraordinary athletes back to 'The World's Most Famous Arena' for another historic moment with our first-ever all-female professional boxing card."

Fighting out of Ireland, Taylor, 38, is ranked No. 2 on ESPN's pound-for-pound list and has been undisputed in two weight classes. After beginning her professional career 22-0, she suffered her first loss when she moved up to super lightweight and lost to then-undisputed champion Chantelle Cameron in May 2023. She avenged the loss in a rematch later that year to become undisputed and successfully defended against Serrano last November.

"I'm 2-0 against Amanda but it's obviously a very special rivalry that delivers every time we step in the ring, so I think it's only right that we have the trilogy," said Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs). "The atmosphere for the first fight there was amazing and I'm sure it won't be any different this time around."

Fighting out of Puerto Rico, Serrano, 36, is ranked No. 3 on ESPN's pound for pound list. She holds the Guinness World Record for the most boxing world championships won in different weight-classes by a female, having held nine major world titles across seven different weight classes. Since suffering a decision loss in 2012, Serrano has gone 33-2-1 with her only two losses coming against Taylor. But the competitive nature of those losses warranted a third fight.


"I promised my fans they would see this trilogy, and I'm incredibly grateful that we get to complete our journey where it all began -- at Madison Square Garden, live on Netflix for the world to see," said Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs).

The first two bouts were 10, two-minute rounds, the standard in women's boxing, and the third fight will be the same. However, Serrano has openly pushed for 12, three-minute rounds for the third fight to be equal to men's championship fights. According to Serrano, the two fighters were unable to come to an agreement for 12 three-minute rounds in the third fight.

"I'm disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds, equal to the men," said Serrano. "This is a record-setting payday for both of us, and we owed it to the fans to honor the handshake deal we made. She didn't. But make no mistake, every time we share the ring, it is war, and I know Friday, July 11, will be the greatest yet because I will finally get the official 'W' I deserve."

Alycia Baumgardner and Jennifer Miranda will be in attendance at MVP’s Taylor vs. Serrano 3 kickoff press conference on Wednesday, April 9 at 6pm at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. All media wishing to attend the press conference must apply for media credentials HERE. Presale begins on Tuesday, April 8 at 12pm ET. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, April 9 at 12pm ET. Pre-sale ticket signups are available here.

MVP’s new signee, reigning undisputed super featherweight world champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs) is one of the most electrifying superstars in boxing today and one of the most dominant athletes in the sport. Born in Fremont, Ohio, and of German, Korean, and African-American descent, she has built a career defined by power, precision, and resilience. Her success is fueled not only by her relentless work ethic but also by her deep faith, which guides her journey both in and out of the ring. Baumgardner turned professional in 2017, making an immediate impact with a first-round TKO victory. In November 2021, she shocked the boxing world by knocking out Terri Harper in Sheffield, England, to claim the WBC and IBO World Titles. She continued her rise, securing wins over Edith Matthysse and Mikaela Mayer in October 2022, adding the WBO and IBF belts to her collection. In February 2023, she became undisputed, defeating Elhem Mekhaled in New York to claim the WBA title. In July 2023, Baumgardner avenged her only career loss with a dominant win over Christina Linardatou in Detroit, successfully defending her undisputed crown. She returned in September 2024 against Delfine Persoon, scoring an early knockdown before an accidental clash of heads led to a no-contest ruling. Outside the ring, Baumgardner is breaking barriers for women, proving that skill, strength, and marketability can coexist at the highest level. Her faith remains at the center of everything she does, keeping her grounded and focused on the bigger picture. With an unshakable mindset and a purpose greater than herself, she continues to push the sport forward, building a legacy that extends far beyond the championship belts. Known for her explosive power, technical skill, and relentless determination, Baumgardner has been calling for big fights against the sport’s elite, and her upcoming 10-round undisputed title defense against Miranda on Friday, July 11 now promises to deliver just that.

“I came to MVP for moments like this—high stakes, global stage, and the chance to show the world who I really am,” said Alycia Baumgardner. “Amanda and Katie have done incredible things for women’s boxing, and it’s an honor to share the card with them. But I didn’t come to stand beside greatness—I came to be it. This night, this spotlight—it’s mine. Jennifer Miranda, I hope you’re ready—because I’m the one they warn you about. The pretty face with bad intentions. When that bell rings, it’s not personal, but it is going to hurt. My belts are staying with me. And still.”

WBA Interim world champion Jennifer Miranda (12-0, 1 KO) is undefeated so far in her pro career, currently ranked by Boxrec as the #3 featherweight in the world. She started boxing at age 23 while at university, quickly proving herself worthy of a spot on the Spanish national team. In her amateur career, she became a nine-time consecutive Spanish national champion, won multiple international titles, and represented Spain at high-level competitions, ranking among the top nine in the world, establishing herself as a pioneer of women’s boxing in Spain. Miranda then made her professional debut in 2018, quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with, competing for the then-vacant Spanish featherweight title in just her second pro fight. She defeated Jessica Sanchez by unanimous decision and successfully defended the title against Vanesa Caballero in 2019, becoming the first woman in history to defend the Spanish national title. Miranda became the WBA’s Gold champion before stepping up to face Panamanian Teresa Almengor in her most recent professional October 2024, coming away victorious with a unanimous decision and becoming the new WBA interim world champion in her sixth title fight out of her twelve pro fights to date. Alongside boxing, Miranda has completed two bachelor’s degrees and two master's degrees including an MBA, and is currently pursuing another degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Miranda is also an accomplished actress who is best known for her role as ‘Arteche’ in Netflix’s global smash-hit series Money Heist. The 38-year old trains out of The Boxer Club in Madrid, Spain with coach Javier Pardo, and is managed by Sergio Pérez.

“MVP is leading the charge in elevating women’s boxing, and I am grateful to be a part of this historic all-women's event in one of the most iconic arenas in the world—Madison Square Garden,” said Jennifer Miranda. “Alycia Baumgardner is an incredible champion, but this is my opportunity to become the first ever undisputed champion from Spain and I will do so. It’s time to write my name in the history books of boxing. Undisputed.”

“Alycia Baumgardner now has the stage to show the world why she is The Most Valuable fighter in the sport,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “But Jennifer Miranda is another world-class athlete who has been waiting for the opportunity to demonstrate why she is one of the best in boxing. This is a world-class matchup between two elite athletes, and we’re thrilled to showcase it as the co-main event of this historic night. The future of women’s boxing is now, and MVP is proud to lead the charge in taking the sport to unprecedented heights. A huge thank you to Netflix and Madison Square Garden for sharing our vision and helping make this moment possible.”
