The highly-anticipated Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano boxing rematch has been indefinitely pushed back to later this year.
In a press release on Tuesday, Matchroom Boxing and Most Valuable Promotions shared the news that Serrano suffered a recent injury, canceling the May 20th fight in Dublin. Taylor won’t get a new opponent and will instead wait until a new date has been booked.
Taylor and Serrano squared off in a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate last April, with Taylor earning a split decision win. Just months after the fight, Taylor returned to the ring to defeat Karen Carabajal in October.
Serrano has also remained active since the first fight with Taylor, earning wins over Sarah Mahfoud and Erika Cruz. She won the vacant WBA featherweight title in her last win over Cruz earlier this month.
The exact nature of Serrano’s injury is undisclosed and all sides are working to book a new fight date. ESPN reported on Tuesday that Serrano has been dealing with an ongoing hand injury since her fight against Miriam Gutierrez in December 2021.
