The hype surrounding the event is undeniable, with ticket sales already surpassing those for the first Serrano-Taylor matchup. That fight, held in April 2022 at MSG, was a major milestone for women's boxing, and the rematch in November 2024 drew a massive 74 million viewers worldwide.

The upcoming trilogy is set to conclude one of the most thrilling rivalries in the sport's history.
