AND STILL...

Katie Taylor defended her status as undisputed world light-welterweight champion with a unanimous-decision but controversial victory over Amanda Serrano in their rematch in Texas.

Taylor got the better of her Puerto Rican opponent in their first clash in 2022, and history repeated itself at AT&T Stadium in Arlington as the judges scored a close bout 95-94 in her favour, a fight that was streamed to millions around the world by Netflix, when it wasn't buffering at least.

But in the aftermath, both Serrano and her trainer accused Taylor of deliberately leading with her head to inflict the bad cut that hampered the challenger in the closing rounds, something the Irish champion denied after clinching the tightest of contests to move to (24-1-0) for her professional career.
