Katie Tyalor vs Amanda Serrano’s sequel will serve as the chief support to Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
Taylor famously beat Serrano in New York in April 2022 in their epic battle, and a rematch has been in the pipeline ever since.
It has been announced as the co-main event to Paul’s showdown with Tyson on July 20, which will take place in front of 80,000 people in Arlington, Texas.
Taylor said: “This is the rematch the world has wanted to see.
“The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.”
Serrano added: “I promised my fans they would see this rematch after we made history at MSG and it feels like a dream come true to know that Katie and I are finally making it happen on the biggest stage possible.
“This will show the world what elite women’s boxing is all about.
“While my focus continues to be on giving women the choice to fight with the same rules as men, I’ve always said that this is the one fight I’d go back to 10×2 for.”
Paul is Serrano’s promoter and will be delighted to have landed her a spot on another huge event this summer, with the second meeting set to take place for Taylor’s undisputed WBC, IBF, WBO and WBA super-lightweight titles.
It will be another huge shot for Serrano, who relinquished her WBC featherweight world title in a bid to fight over 12 rounds.
But after much deliberation, she has now decided to take on previous rival Taylor over ten two-minute rounds, in a bid at revenge.
It will likely once again result in a huge payday for the pair, who Paul claimed earned $1 million each for their previous dust-up.
Paul and Tyson will meet in the headline act, in a fight that has been heavily criticised given their 31-year age gap.
Tyson will be 58 when he steps back in the ring, and has received medical warnings over his participation in the card.
But the fight will go ahead, and he too is set pocket a mammoth $20 million purse.
The heavyweight icon has also been posting a series of training footage clips, as he plans to allay the boxing worlds’ fears over a potentially dangerous encounter.
