Taylor vs. Serrano results, live stream fight coverage

The biggest fight in all of women’s boxing goes down inside Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., tonight (Sat., Apr. 30, 2022) when undisputed Lightweight queenpin, Katie Taylor, takes on seven-division titlist, Amanda Serrano, streaming live on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV).

MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of the Taylor vs. Serrano main event below. The main card broadcast kicks off on DAZN at 7:30 p.m. ET, while Taylor and Serrano are expected to make their ring walks around 10:15 p.m. ET (stream it here).

The match up was originally scheduled for 2020, but ultimately fell apart because of the COVID pandemic.

The card will also see unified Super Middleweight champions Franchon Crews-Dezurn and Elin Cederroos square off for undisputed status, Liam Smith take on Jessie Vargas in a long-brewing grudge match, Olympic gold medalist Galal Yafai meet Miguel Cartagena, and Austin “Ammo” Williams take on Chordale Booker in a clash of unbeaten prospects.
