Women's Boxing Tags In WWE to Punch Up Interest Ahead of DAZN Bout

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are the best in the sport—but getting fans and advertisers to care is the real fight

What do you do when you’ve been handed the biggest women’s boxing match in recent history, but don’t have the strongest track record for promoting women’s sports? Tag in someone stronger.

On April 30, sports network DAZN will host the first women’s main event card in Madison Square Garden’s history. Unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor is taking on featherweight champ Amanda Serrano, who joined Manny Pacquiao and Hector “Macho” Camacho as the only fighters to win titles in seven weight classes. 

Depending on who you ask, Taylor and Serrano are either the two pound-for-pound best fighters in women’s boxing or part of a Top 3 that includes similarly impressive, undisputed junior middleweight and middleweight champion Claressa Shields.
