Mike Tyson is all set to face Jake Paul in a highly anticipated boxing match on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. While their fight will serve as the main event of the evening, the co-main event will feature a blockbuster undisputed super lightweight title rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

Serrano lost to Taylor in their first meeting at the Madison Square Garden in April 2022. After her loss, Serrano went on a four-fight win streak, winning the IBF and inaugural The Ring female featherweight titles and defending her WBC, WBO, and IBO championships.

Given that Serrano is signed to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), it's no surprise that she was booked for her long-awaited rematch against Taylor on the same card as the former Disney star's fight against Tyson.
