The HUGE record-breaking payday Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will bank in title contest on the undercard of Mike Tyson v Jake Paul
- The pair are set to rake in a new record seven figures during Friday’s big match
- Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano previously earned £1 million in their first fight
- That total will now be eclipsed when they meet in a second title fight
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will set a new record for women’s boxing in their huge title fight on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s clash against Jake Paul.
The pair will face off in a grudge rematch match on Friday night, with Irish-born star Taylor putting her IBF, WBC and WBO super lightweight titles on the line.
Serrano will look to win one against her fierce opponent, two years after their first spectacular meeting, which ended with Taylor triumphing via split decision at Madison Square Garden.
The match was considered by many at the time to be the greatest female fight of all time, as Taylor and Serrano exchanged a series of vicious blows over ten rounds.
The legendary fight earned both fighters more than £1million and that figure is now expected to more than double for their second clash at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

An appearance on the undercard of Tyson v Paul will deliver huge seven-figure paydays for both boxers in a new milestone for women’s boxing, with Serrano claiming she will earn more than Taylor.
The official purses have not yet been revealed, but according to reports in the Republic of Ireland, Taylor is believed to collect a £4.7million payday to defend her world titles.
Their first match initially broke the record, with Taylor and Serrano more than doubling the purse this time, with a huge streaming audience expected to tune in to watch Tyson’s return to the ring.
Serrano has praised Paul for increasing financial rewards for women’s boxing after signing to his label Most Valuable Promotions, having once paid less than £1,000 for her professional debut.

Previously, the Puerto Rican boxer posted on X: ‘Just for the Record LADIES! Katie and I are creating the largest purses in sports history for female boxing.
“We made the first million dollar single in our first fight on this one, we both shattered that!” For the young ladies coming up. Stay focused, behave RIGHT and fight HARD. Those numbers can happen for you too.
‘Know that you also have to promote yourself outside the door. Millions can be achieved through sponsors alone. Work hard, stay humble and become rich,” she added.
However, Taylor could be left penniless after fighting Serrano after betting her entire wallet with Paul that the YouTuber turned boxer would lose to 58-year-old Tyson.
