Katie Taylor has beaten every opponent she has ever faced, as she has helped to elevate the status of women’s boxing.
Only suffering one loss in her career, Taylor was able to get revenge on Chantelle Cameron, who spoiled the Irish woman’s homecoming.
Now with a record of 24-1, Taylor will face Amanda Serrano for a third time at Madison Square Garden on July 19th.
After two close meetings with Serrano, Taylor will look to make it a clean sweep in New York. If Taylor is able to dominate her rival, she would be repeating a 2021 title victory.

Seven months before Taylor’s history-making first meeting with Serrano, she was paired up with former world champion Jennifer Han.
With an 18-0 record, Taylor was aiming to defend her undisputed lightweight titles for the fourth time in September 2021.
Challenging her would be former featherweight world champion Han, who had an 18-3-1 record. Since becoming champion in 2015, the American had not tasted defeat.
Despite these accolades, Han was not able to offer much of a threat to the unbeaten Taylor. Winning every round on all three of the judges’ scorecards, the pair did not have a close meeting in Leeds, England.
As well as having a landslide victory on the scorecards, Taylor was also able to knock down Han, who had never been stopped as a professional.
The pair came together in a quick exchange in the middle of the ring, as Han fell to the canvas. Despite the title challenger arguing she slipped, she was given a count by the referee.
Victory in Leeds extended Taylor’s unbeaten record to 19-0 since becoming a professional in 2016.

The only woman to defeat Taylor is British rival Cameron, as the pair met for the first time in Dublin in May 2023.
The bout was billed as ‘Homecoming’ as it was Taylor’s first outing in Ireland as a professional. However, the fight did not go according to plan.
Losing via majority decision, Taylor’s record fell to 22-1, as Cameron’s improved to 18-0. The pair then had an immediate rematch, where the Irish woman could get revenge six months later.
