The follow-up to Katie Tyalor vs. Amanda Serrano will serve as the main support for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.
Taylor defeated Serrano in New York in April 2022 in their epic battle, and a rematch has been in the works ever since.

It was announced as the co-main event of the July 20 showdown between Paul and Tyson, which will take place in front of 80,000 people in Arlington, Texas.
Taylor said: “This is the revenge the world wanted to see.
“The first fight in New York was obviously an epic event and it lived up to the hype, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.”
Serrano added: “I promised my fans they would see this rematch after making history at MSG and it’s like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible.
“It will show the world what elite women’s boxing is all about.
“While my goal remains to give women the choice to fight under the same rules as men, I have always said this is the only fight I would return to 10×2 for.”
Paul is Serrano’s promoter and will be delighted to have landed him a spot in another major event this summer, with the second meeting set to take place for Taylor’s undisputed WBC, IBF, WBO and WBA super lightweight titles.
It will be another huge blow for Serrano, who relinquished his WBC featherweight world title in a bid to fight over 12 rounds.

But after much deliberation, she has now decided to face her old rival Taylor in ten two-minute rounds, in a bid for revenge.
This will likely once again result in a huge payday for the two men, who Paul says earned $1 million each for their previous affair.
Paul and Tyson will meet in the headliner, in a fight that has been heavily criticized given their 31-year age gap.
Tyson will be 58 years old when he returns to the ring and has received medical warnings regarding his participation in the card.
But the fight will continue, and he too will be awarded a gigantic purse of $20 million.
The heavyweight icon also released a series of training footage, as he plans to allay the boxing world’s fears over a potentially dangerous encounter.
