Katie Taylor has beaten every opponent she has ever faced, as she has helped to elevate the status of women\u2019s boxing. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Only suffering one loss in her career, Taylor was able to get revenge on Chantelle Cameron<\/a>, who spoiled the Irish woman\u2019s homecoming. <\/p>\n

Now with a record of 24-1, Taylor will face Amanda Serrano for a third time at Madison Square Garden<\/a> on July 19th. <\/p>\n

After two close meetings with Serrano<\/a>, Taylor<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Seven months before Taylor\u2019s history-making first meeting with Serrano<\/a>, she was paired up with former world champion Jennifer Han. <\/p>\n

With an 18-0 record, Taylor was aiming to defend her undisputed lightweight titles for the fourth time in September 2021. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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\u2019 scorecards, the pair did not have a close meeting in Leeds, England. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Victory in Leeds extended Taylor\u2019s unbeaten record to 19-0 since becoming a professional in 2016. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Katie Taylor had her unbeaten record broken in 2022 <\/p>\n

The only woman to defeat Taylor is British rival Cameron, as the pair met for the first time in Dublin in May 2023. <\/p>\n

The bout was billed as \u2018Homecoming\u2019 as it was Taylor\u2019s first outing in Ireland as a professional. However, the fight did not go according to plan. <\/p>\n

Losing via majority decision, Taylor\u2019s record fell to 22-1, as Cameron\u2019s improved to 18-0. The pair then had an immediate rematch, where the Irish woman could get revenge six months later. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katie Taylor has beaten every opponent she has ever faced, as she has helped to elevate the status…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,4351,93531,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-240581","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-katie-taylor","10":"tag-katie-taylor-vs-amanda-serrano","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
