Discussons continue over revised date

Katie Taylor’s rematch with Amanda Serrano in May has been called following an injury to the Puerto Rican.

The bout had been scheduled to take place in Dublin on May 20 after Serrano’s win against Erika Cruz to become the undisputed featherweight champion.

Taylor beat Serrano via a split decision in the first women’s contest to top the bill at Madison Square Garden last April.

Dublin’s 3Arena had been expected as the venue to host the rematch after negotiations between the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and promoters Matchroom Boxing to stage it at Croke Park fell through over “security costs”.

A statement from Matchroom read: “Due to an injury sustained by Amanda Serrano, Matchroom Boxing and Most Valuable Promotions regret to announce that the Taylor-Serrano II bout on May 20 in Dublin will not go ahead as planned.

"The teams are in discussions about finding a revised date for the bout. Further details will follow in due course."
