Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor are almost ready to head back into the ring for the much-awaited follow-up to their 2022 match. Talking with ET ahead of their July 20 rematch -- part of Netflix's live fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson -- Serrano, 35, and Taylor, 37, shared that two years after Taylor clinched a victory via split decision, they are each going harder to ensure that their win is decisive. "The training for every single fight is obviously very, very tough," said Taylor -- the current undisputed lightweight and super lightweight champion.
She adds that her training includes two workouts a day, six days a week. "You're putting your body through torture." Serrano said of her own progress, "Training is going to be fun.
I started pre-camp, which is running, making sure I’m getting the weight up and conditioning. Now, come this week I will be starting hardcore training camp and it’s just basically the same..
. we train a lot smarter not harder." The last time the women went toe-to-toe was in April 2022 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The fight -- billed as For History --was the first-ever headliner featuring female boxers in the venue's 140-year history with the sport. For History has been described as the "biggest women’s fight of all time" and highlights of the match have racked up millions of views on YouTube. The rematch is one not only requested by fans but by the boxers themselves who want the chance to spar for the undisputed super lightweig.
