Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in Advanced Talks for Rematch at MSG Sphere, Beating UFC to First Combat Sports Event
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano could be on the verge of making history by being the first combat sports event at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, beating out Dana White’s UFC in the process. Reports from Ireland suggest that the highly anticipated women’s boxing rematch between Taylor and Serrano is in advanced talks and could potentially take place in June.
The first fight between these two fierce competitors was a thrilling ten-round battle that ended with Taylor narrowly edging out Serrano on points. Despite initially going their separate ways after the fight, Taylor’s promoter Eddie Hearn has now confirmed that they are in talks to make the rematch happen two years later.
The new MSG Sphere arena in Las Vegas, which opened late last year, is a state-of-the-art venue with a capacity of 18,600. Standing at an impressive 366ft tall and 516ft wide, the Sphere boasts the world’s largest LED screen on its exterior, creating a truly immersive experience for attendees.
While the venue is primarily used for music acts, it is also capable of hosting combat sports events. Dana White had already secured the venue for a UFC show in September, but Taylor vs Serrano 2 could potentially beat them to the punch and become the first combat sports event at the Sphere.
With the potential for a historic rematch between two of the top female boxers in the world, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the fight at the MSG Sphere. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of combat sports.
