Potential Showdown Between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano Could Steal Spotlight from UFC at Las Vegas’s MSG Sphere

In the world of combat sports, a potential clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the undisputed lightweight championship is causing quite a stir. The fight, rumored to take place in June at the state-of-the-art MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, could potentially steal the spotlight from the UFC’s planned event at the venue.

Negotiations are reportedly underway for this highly anticipated rematch between Taylor and Serrano, following their split decision thriller in 2022. If the fight does come to fruition, it would mark the first combat sports event at the technologically advanced MSG Sphere, overshadowing the UFC’s Mexican Independence Day event scheduled for September.

However, UFC President Dana White is not willing to let boxing take the spotlight away from his organization. In a playful jab at Eddie Hearn, Taylor’s promoter, White made it clear that he does not want boxing to beat the UFC to be the first combat sports event at the Sphere. White’s competitive spirit and loyalty to the UFC were on full display as he shut down reports of the Taylor-Serrano rematch taking place before the UFC’s event.

While White asserted the UFC’s dominance in the race to christen the MSG Sphere, Hearn kept his cards close to his chest. When asked about the potential venue for the Taylor-Serrano rematch, Hearn remained vague, hinting at ongoing negotiations with Serrano’s team. The fans will have to wait a bit longer to see how this rivalry between MMA and boxing plays out.

As the battle for the spotlight at the MSG Sphere continues, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the Taylor-Serrano rematch and the opportunity to witness two of the best in the sport go head-to-head once again. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of combat sports.
