Boxing rematch becomes co-main event on Jake Paul v Mike Tyson card
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano’s rematch has become the co-main event on Jake Paul v Mike Tyson’s card, and will be streamed on Netflix.
The pair fought two years’ ago as the first women boxers to headline an event at Madison Square Garden, when Taylor won a narrow split decision. They will again fight to become the undisputed super lightweight championship.
Taylor and Serrano join Jake Paul v Mike Tyson as the co-main event at the 80,000-seat capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on 20 July, with the night promoted by Most Valuable Promotions.
Netflix has previously live streamed a golf event that featured F1: Drive To Survive and Full Swing sportspeople. It is also set to become the home of WWE Raw from 2025.
