Paul, who has served as Serrano’s promoter under Most Valuable Promotions, praised her as boxing’s reigning featherweight queen while reigniting one of the sport’s most contested rivalries. His timing, just months before Serrano’s next defense in Puerto Rico, seemed calculated to set the stage for her comeback narrative.

“Amanda Serrano beat Katie Taylor twice in three fights. Yes she did,” Paul posted on X, adding, “Now she’s back at 126, with 3-minute rounds. All hail the 126 Queen, her reign continues Saturday January 3 in Puerto Rico.”

Was Jake Paul’s statement accurate?

Paul’s claim, though bold and attention-grabbing, is factually incorrect—Katie Taylor has officially won all three fights in their rivalry, completing a sweep in their trilogy. Still, Paul’s message functions as a promotional tool: he frames Serrano as the rightful “126 Queen” returning to her division under three-minute rounds, seeking to recast perception and momentum ahead of her January return.

The upcoming January 3 event in Puerto Rico will see Serrano defend her unified featherweight titles, reportedly against Erika Cruz, in a format that mirrors men’s championship bouts. The move not only highlights Serrano’s advocacy for equality in the sport but also reinforces Paul’s positioning of her as a trailblazer within women’s boxing.

Can Serrano reclaim her legacy under new rules?

Serrano’s fight in San Juan’s Coliseo Roberto Clemente will serve as both a statement of endurance and a challenge to perception. After falling short in her rivalry with Taylor, she now looks to redefine her reign at featherweight—this time with longer rounds, higher stakes, and renewed expectations.

“@jakepaul see you at dinner to collect my million!” Tyson wrote, celebrating his bet on Taylor to win. The former heavyweight champion had wagered $1 million on the Irish icon to retain her undisputed super lightweight title — a bet Paul took the other way, backing Serrano.

Taylor delivered once again, defeating Serrano by majority decision to take the 2–1 lead in their storied rivalry. The result brought closure to one of the most competitive trilogies in women’s boxing history — and gave Tyson the last laugh in his ongoing rivalry with Paul.

Taylor edges Serrano again in gritty trilogy battle

The latest clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano was razor-close, much like their previous encounters. The judges scored the third bout 97–93, 97–93, and 95–95 in favor of Taylor, who successfully defended her status as undisputed champion.

It was a frustrating outcome for Serrano, who believed she had done enough to win — especially after outlanding Taylor and connecting at a higher percentage in their second fight back in November. That bout had served as the co-main event to the Paul vs. Tyson card and ended in controversy, fueling the need for a final showdown.

Serrano’s camp was once again vocal post-fight, pointing to punch stats as evidence the decision didn’t reflect the action in the ring. But ultimately, the judges sided with Taylor’s sharper combinations and ring control.

Tyson turns the tables on Paul after loss

While Jake Paul bested Tyson in their headline exhibition bout last year — a fight criticized by fans and surrounded by questions of legitimacy — Tyson’s confidence in Taylor turned out to be the ultimate revenge.

Rather than seek a rematch to settle the score, Iron Mike placed his faith in the pound-for-pound queen of women’s boxing. And that trust paid off. Tyson not only walked away with a symbolic win but also cashed in on a $1 million bet that Paul will now have to honor.

In a sport where reputations are often measured in risk and reward, Tyson’s latest move proved that he hasn’t lost his sharp instincts — even if he’s not throwing punches.

Jake Paul didn’t hold back, taking to his personal X account to declare Serrano the rightful winner: “Amanda Serrano won. She’s the biggest star in women’s combat sports.” His message quickly garnered over 3 million views and 30,000 likes.

This marked the second time Serrano and Taylor faced off for a title. After the fight, in which Serrano clearly outlanded Taylor by over 100 punches, she posted on X: “I landed 107 more punches, she got a point deducted and I lost 95-94 lmfao.”

During the bout, Serrano threw a total of 734 punches, connecting on 324. In contrast, Katie Taylor threw 529 punches, landing only 217, with just 4 body shots. Serrano recorded 46 jabs and 278 power punches.

Jake Paul Calls for MMA Rematch Between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor

Jake Paul is now pushing for an MMA fight between Serrano and Taylor. In another post, Paul highlighted Serrano’s toughness, saying: “Amanda Serrano has had 51 pro fights. She’s been cut in just 2 of those fights. Both against Katie Taylor. Only solution is to run the trilogy in MMA @PFLMMA.” Serrano responded on X, agreeing with the proposal.

Skip Bayless, Damian Lillard, and Ricky Martin Rally Behind Amanda Serrano’s Victory Claim

The support for Serrano didn’t stop there. Celebrities like Ricky Martin, Damian Lillard, and Skip Bayless weighed in, backing Serrano as the rightful winner. Ricky Martin claimed that the fight was “stolen” from the Puerto Rican native, while Damian Lillard remarked, “Boxing is wild, man. Serrano beat her twice and lost to her twice.” Skip Bayless acknowledged Taylor’s resilience but insisted, “Katie Taylor showed legendary grit and toughness. But Amanda Serrano won that fight, despite two headbutts, one accidental and one not.”

Jake Paul is coming back to the ring after an eight-month absence. He held his last appearance in December 2021, when he defeated former UFC Champion Tyron Woodley by the way of knockout, in what was just his fifth bout as a professional boxer.

Regarding Amanda Serrano, the Puerto Rican is coming off the most lucrative and mediatic fight in the history of women’s boxing, where she gained a lot of reputation and money, despite losing to Undisputed World Lightweight Female Champion Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Tommy Fury, the first big test for Jake Paul in boxing

The Youtuber’s critics had focused the arguments against him on the premise of the opponents he had faced.Well, August 6 holds not only his next fight against Jake Paul, but his most demanding test yet, when he clashes with Tommy Fury.

Fury, 23, is a professional boxer originally from Manchester, England. As his last name implies, he is related to current WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury: he is his half-brother, and also part of his training team. He was supposed to fight Paul instead of Tyron Woodley last December, but he pulled off the fight due to a medical condition.

The nicknamed TNT became a professional boxer in 2018, and since then he has 8 fights, all won, four of them by knockout. His most recent fight was on the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte at Wembley, he beat Daniel Bocianski by decision.

Brenda Carabajal, facing the opportunity of a lifetime when facing Amanda Serrano

Life can change at any moment, and this is exactly what the boxer from Argentina is experiencing. Carabajal has been a professional for 8 years now and has carved out a respectable, though obviously not extraordinary, career.

Nicknamed La Pumita, Brenda Carabajal boasts a record of 18-5-1, 9 KOs, at the age of 31. She already had the opportunity to fight for a world championship twice, in 2016 and 2017, but lost both times. Her last fight was held in May 2022 in Argentina, she defeated veteran Debora Dionicius by an MD.

Now, on August 6, with New York’s Madison Square Garden as a witness, Carabajal faces the toughest opponent of her career. If she overcomes Amanda Serrano, which is expected to be difficult, a huge reward awaits her: the WBC and WBO World Female Featherweight Champion.

Paul last held a fight in December 2021, when he defeated former UFC world champion Tyron Woodley with a solid knockout for the second time. Serrano, meanwhile, just starred in perhaps the greatest women’s boxing fight in history, against Ireland’s Katie Taylor, who defeated her on a tight card after 10 rounds.

The Problem Child has so far a record as a professional boxer of only 5 fights. He has won all of them, 4 by knockout, in the Cruiserweight division (under 200 pounds). While the Real Deal boasts an experienced record of 42-2-1, thanks to which he has been World Champion in 6 different weight classes.

When is Jake Paul’s next fight?

Once again, social networks are in charge of shaking up the world of information. It was through them that Jake Paul shared with his many followers and fans the date on which he will end his boxing drought. And the day to reserve for those who want to see him as a boxer is next Saturday, August 6.

Just as ithappened inAmanda Serrano’s April 30 fight against Katie Taylor for the world lightweight title, Jake Paul and his Puerto Rican protégé’s next clash will be at Madison Square Garden in New York City. For those unable to attend live, the fight will be available on Showtime PPV.

Jake Paul’s possible opponents for his Aug. 6 fight in New York City

While it is not yet official who The Problem Child will face in his next fight, it can be sensed that there are some names that would be ahead of others in the race to earn the opportunity to try to take Paul’s undefeated record from New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Jake Paul’s first possible opponent could be Tommy Fury, who he was originally set to face in December 2021, but a sudden retirement of the Englishman prevented the Youtuber from fighting for the first time in his nascent boxing career against a professional boxer. The exchange of statements between them has not been friendly at all, so it would be viable for them to try to resolve their differences in a ring.

Then the name of a former Mexican World Champion appears on the map. It is none other than Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the son of the Mexican boxing legend. Currently, Julito is about to finish his healing process in a rehab clinic for addictions. There was also a war of declarations between the two, so the animosity between them would be included.

Finally, there could be the option of a high degree of difficulty fight for Jake Paul, and that is to face Sergey Kovalev. The Russian returned to the ring after more than 2 years of absence and he did it with a victory in the Cruiserweight. This after having dominated the 175 lbs. category in his prime time. Despite Kovalev’s age, his experience and punch would be a test to know what are the true boxing skills of The Problem Child, and the Krusher has already said he will be willing to clash with Paul.

Eddie Hearn, the Matchroom Boxing, and Jake Paul, the famous Youtuber who has invaded boxing in search of glory, are the promoters who made the Taylor-Serrano showdown possible. Their confidence is so high that they have bet $1 millionthat their respective fighter will come out on top.

Taylor is the one who will expose the belts in this fight as the Undisputed World Champion, she will put on the table absolutely all the renowned belts in the Lightweight division: WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO. For her part, Serrano comes to the fight with a golden reputation: she is a seven-division World Female Champion.

The purse to be earned by Taylor and Serrano for their historic fight

One of Jake Paul’s arguments to promote this fight, and especially Amanda Serrano, is the salary gap between male and female boxing. That’s why, when this fight was announced, The Problem Child launched a news item that attracted a lot of attention: both Taylor and Serrano would earn much more money than the vast majority of professional male boxers.

“They’re getting paid in the seven figures, which is historic. It’s never happened for women, guaranteed seven figures, plus pay-per-view. Obviously, it’s going to be a massive pay-per-view. This is life-changing for both girls and especially for Amanda Serrano, because I’ve heard her stories of how much she’s been getting paid since day one.” said Jake Paul in the MMA Hour show.

This figure, which is part of the million dollars that both Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will earn for being the first women to star in a boxing event at Madison Square Garden, has nothing to do with the payments that women boxing professionals usually receive.

For Amanda Serrano, it will be the first time that her pay will be in seven figures. For example, in her last fight, in December 2021, she barely scraped $275,000. While for Katie Taylor it will be the fourth time she earns more than a million dollars for stepping into the ring. *

*According to Sportekz and Sportszion

It will undoubtedly be one of the most attractive fights that the boxing weekend will have. For the first time in 140 years of history, two female boxers will headline the main event at Madison Square Garden as undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor goes toe-to-toe with seven-weight champion Amanda Serrano.

Before the fight, Katie Taylor said that “We’re two great champions in our prime and it’s going to make for such an amazing fight”.And she added: “I think stylistically we might do very, very well together. She’s obviously a very, very aggressive fighter and so am I. So, I think it’s going to be a very, very exciting fight. I just can’t wait for it”.

In today’s boxing world, it is difficult for two of the best pound-for-pound fighters to face each other if they do not share a division or promoter. That is the greatness of Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, because they are at the top of women’s boxing and, despite not sharing weight class or promoter, they will step into the ring to determine who is the true queen of the Sweet Science.

Irish Taylor, 35, has a record of 20-0-0, 6 KOs, and is the current WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF World Lightweight Champion. In addition, she was a gold medalist at London 2012. For her part, the 33-year-old Puerto Rican Serrano, 42-1-1, 30 KOs, is a true legend in the ring as she has been seven-division World Female Champion.

The unfortunate comparison of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano by Eddie Hearn

In an interview for the Youtube channel IFLTV, Eddie Hearn shared his excitement for being one of the two promoters who were able to achieve the first female fight to star in a boxing card at the legendary Madison Square Garden.

However, his joy may have betrayed him as he compared Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano to a mega men’s boxing fight that paralyzed the world in 2015 by starring two of the best pound-for-pound fighters, even in history, but ended up disappointing the millions who watched it because of its lack of action.

“We’re talking two legends of the sport. This is Mayweather vs Pacquiao for women’s boxing. You’ve got an undisputed champion and you’ve got a seven-division champion. It’s putting a blueprint in place but not every fight is going to sell out the Garden.” stated Hearn.

The disappointing fight between Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao

The night of May 2, 2015 was shaping up to be one of the most memorable in boxing history. Two legendary fighters, world champions in multiple weight classes, and future Hall of Famers, faced each other in the mecca of boxing, Las Vegas, with world championships on the line. What could go wrong?

They say boxing is all about styles, and that’s what went wrong in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao matchup. The unwavering tendency of the Money not to be touched over attacking, and an unfortunate night for the Pacman delivered a fight lacking in action, with a low percentage of punches thrown and landed, which ended up with the American winning by UD.

After knocking out Tyron Woodley, on his fifth fight as a professional boxer, The Problem Childhas stated several times that he could make a pause in his career in the ring to focus on another of his goals in sport: being a fair promoter for female fighters.

Amanda Serrano has been included in the undercard of Jake Paul‘s two latest fights. The Puerto Rican warrioris one of the Pound for Pound best boxers in the world: she is the current WBC and WBO World Featherweight Champion, and she has been a titleholder in seven weight classes.

The mega female fight deal that Jake Paul might close soon

According to ESPN reporter Mike Coppinger, Katie Taylor is the very possible opponent that Jake Paul wants for his represented Amanda Serrano. The Irish fighter is 20-0-0 and the reigning Unified World Lightweight Champion. If the deal is made, it would be the best again the best.

It was alsorevealed that the fight tor Taylor’s belts could be held on April 30 at the Madison Square Garden in New York according to Eddie Hearn. On Coppinger’s word, this could be “the biggest female fight of all time“.

In an interview for DAZN Boxing Show, Hearn highlighted Jake Paul’s input to make the Taylor vs Serrano fight possible: “Jake Paul has done a brilliant job for her. He’s massively increased Amanda Serrano’s value. She deserves this, the price that was offered three years ago, that’s not the price anymore. As they say, yesterday’s price is not today and Jake Paul’s a massive reason for that.“

Amanda Serrano (42-1-1, 30 KO’s)has already been Champion in the Lightweight division: in 2014 she defeated Argentinian Maria Elena Madierna by the way of knockout in Buenos Aires. On her behalf, the 35-year-old Katie Taylor has been a Lightweight Champion since 2017. In 2012, she won the Gold Medal at London Olympics.

To clarify the past statements: the Problem Childhas had a brutal income of almost 5 million dollars for the3 fights he made. That amount is almost an impossible dream for the rest of professional boxers with his record: 5-0-0.

Talking about sports issues, Jake Paul has shown that his boxing skills are growing up. From the complicated fights against Ben Askren and the first one againstTyron Woodleyto the colossal KO achieved in his rematch against former Welterweight UFC Champion there is an improvement. After his last fight, the name of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was leaked as his possible next rival.

Why will Jake Paul take a break from his boxing career?

In an episode of Impaulsive, Logan Paul‘s, Jake elder brother, podcast,the Problem Childsaidthat he wants to try luck in another area of boxing, not exactly inside the ring.So he would need to stop his fighting activity for seven months to focus on his new adventure.

Jake Paul has created his promotion firm, Most Valuable Promotions, and has just signed professional female boxer Amanda Serrano. The Real Dealis one of the best fighters ever in the world: she is the current unified World Featherweight champion of the world with an impressive 42-1-1 (30 KO’s) and has conquered World titles in seven different weight categories.

In fact, Serrano has been in the undercard of Jake Paul’s two last fights, and the master planthe Problem Childhas for the Puerto Rican boxer is to get her a title shot against Katie Taylor, the present Pound for Pound queen of boxing, and holder of the unified World Lightweight Championship.

“She (Amanda Serrano) has passed thousands of hours at the gym. She deserves a great purse to be able to retire from boxing and have no need to come back if she wants to. She has been paid wrong and many havetaken advantage of her. For me is an amazing goal to help her, she is a wonderful person“, said Paul.
