DALLAS -- Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) retained her undisputed women's lightweight championship with a controversial and unpopular unanimous decision over Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs) on Friday night at AT&T Stadium.

The fight was a return bout of their magnificent 2022 encounter that headlined Madison Square Garden, which Taylor won by a narrow split decision. It was the first time two women headlined at the historic arena.
