The pair’s third encounter will headline the first-ever all-women’s boxing card in Madison Square Garden’s history.
Taylor and Serrano will complete their trilogy later this yearEsther Lin/MVPTaylor has narrowly won both of her previous two bouts with Serrano, which have helped break down barriers for women’s boxing.
Their inaugural encounter, which took place in April 2022, marked the first time female boxers had headlined Madison Square Garden.
Taylor edged past Serrano via split decision before their rematch acted as chief support for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson‘s record-breaking Netflix spectacle last November.
The Irishwoman’s points decision win in Texas became the most-watched women’s sporting event in US history.
It attracted 74 million viewers worldwide and earned both women career-high paydays.
Paul‘s Most Valuable Promotions will stage the blockbuster bill for their trilogy fight, which will again be streamed live on Netflix.

Serrano said: “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.
“I’m disappointed that Katie Taylor did not keep her word and make the trilogy 12 three-minute rounds, equal to the men.
“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.
“Headlining an all-female card at MSG, representing both New York and Puerto Rico, is something I never thought would be possible, and it wouldn’t be without Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and MVP’s commitment to elevating women’s boxing.
“I’m proud to stand alongside all the talented women on this card, and I hope our fight inspires young girls everywhere to keep believing in themselves and never stop chasing their dreams.”
Undisputed super lightweight champion Taylor, added: “I want to thank everyone at Matchroom, MVP and Netflix for getting the trilogy over the line and I can’t wait to headline at MSG again in July.”
“I’m 2 and 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.
“The atmosphere for the first fight there was amazing and I’m sure it won’t be any different this time around.
“The numbers that got to see the last fight in November were incredible so hopefully those people will all want to tune in for the trilogy fight as well and we can deliver another great fight.”
