Katie Taylor's next fight will be with Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson as co-main event

Another rematch for the undisputed super lightweight champion.

Katie Taylor has officially confirmed her next game.

The Bray fighter will rematch with Amanda Serrano on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

The fight, held at the 80,000-capacity home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, will also be streamed globally on Netflix and will pit Jake Paul against 57-year-old Mike Tyson Tied for the main event.

A statement released by MVP Promotions on Tuesday afternoon read: “The most anticipated women’s boxing rematch in history: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano for the undisputed Super League title. The lightweight title is officially set to be the co-main event between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

“Tyler and Serrano met for the first time two years ago in a fight that sparked widespread controversy when Katie Taylor won by split decision.

“The event made history as it headlined the first-ever women’s boxing match at Madison Square Garden and went on to be named Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s 2022 Match of the Year.

“Live on Netflix on Saturday, July 20th, Katie Taylor will defend her belt and Amanda Serrano will prove the judges wrong in 2022!”

Following Taylor's victory over Chantel Cameron last November, it was expected that her next fight would be a trilogy against the boxer.

However, hopes for the showdown have begun to fade in recent months after the initial buzz of calls from Katie and her promoter Eddie Hearn to take place in Croke Park.

Katie Taylor and Serrano last faced off in April 2022 when they became the first women to headline a pay card at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Katie won the fight that night via a very close split decision.

“This is the rematch the world wants to see,” Taylor said of the upcoming rematch in a statement.

“The first game in New York was obviously an epic moment and it lived up to the hype, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.

“I would like to thank Matchroom and DAZN for their help in making this fight possible and I look forward to defending my undisputed world title on Saturday, July 20th in Dallas.”
