How do Taylor and Serrano's records compare?
Taylor and Serrano have two of the best records in boxing, not just the women's game.Serrano is a seven-weight world champion while Taylor is among an elite club in the modern era to win undisputed titles in two weight classes.Taylor, 39, has 24 wins and just one loss on her record, a 2023 defeat by Cameron she avenged in her next fight.Serrano, 36, is one of the most experienced pro-female fighters on the scene today with 47 wins, three losses and one draw on her record.Taylor has two victories over Serrano, while the other defeat was way back in 2012 at super-featherweight to Frida Wallberg.We saw in the first fight how their styles gelled perfectly and just how many punches were thrown between them. A combined 320 punches were landed over the 10 rounds and after 20 rounds that figure rose to 861 punches.Taylor won a narrow split decision in an instant classic at MSG three years ago.The Irishwoman suffered her first defeat since then while Serrano became undisputed champion at featherweight as she amassed five more wins.Their fight last November was another epic as Taylor leaned on her reactions and experience while a badly cut Serrano refused to take a backwards step. Remarkably, after 40 minutes we still haven't seen a knockdown.
Who won Taylor v Serrano 1 & 2?
Taylor and Serrano's two fights couldn't have been much closer. The first encounter was a split decision for Taylor while the rematch was a little wider for the Irishwoman.Cardio and grit for both women was a massive factor in each fight, with Taylor digging deep to stay on her feet at MSG before Serrano battled through a terrible cut above her eye through much of the rematch in Texas.
On both occasions, Serrano slammed her foot on the gas from the very first bell, throwing a huge amount of punches. She out-landed Taylor in both fights, with 324 punches to Taylor's 217 in the rematch.But the volume wasn't enough for Serrano as she failed to put a real dent in Taylor. The defending champion used her counters and speed to deal with the onslaught and landed more of the meatier shots.While Serrano had visibly hurt Taylor in the first fight, she was unable to rock her rival in the rematch.Will either woman come out with a different game plan for the trilogy or will we see another all-action firefight?

Watch trailer for Tommy Fury's BBC docuseries as Love Island star opens up on ‘worst year of my life'
TOMMY FURY has opened up on the worst year of his life in the trailer for his new BBC docuseries. Fury had a huge 2023 beating YouTube's biggest boxing stars in Jake Paul and KSI while also welcoming his baby daughter Bambi into the world. 6 6 6 But a hand injury - which required surgery - sidelined the 2019 Love Islander from the ring. During that period, he fell into a period of depression and alcohol abuse which he has said cost him his relationship with Molly-Mae Hague. Fury has since returned to the ring - winning his comeback fight in May - and has got back together with Molly-Mae - who he met on Love Island. And his rollercoaster year is set to be documented in a new series coming this summer called: "Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury." In the trailer, Fury, 26, says: "I went through the worst year of my life because I couldn't box. "In this big house that I bought, I found myself just sat alone. I just want to show Bambi and Molly, I'm back. "I need to get back to me, that's a big thing about being a Fury, we fight until our last breath." Fury beat Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic in his comeback bout in Hungary and hinted bigger bouts are in the works. He said on Eddie Hall's podcast: "The big fights are looming. I think they're always going to be there though, because the history's there. "I did a good six rounds underneath my belt in that fight so if I could come back and maybe get eight rounds in or whatever. "Whatever fight comes, to be honest. I've really fell in love with the sport again after being away from it for so long." 6 6 6

Wimbledon: Taylor Fritz beats Karen Khachanov for his first semifinal at the grass-court Slam
Taylor Fritz recovered from a mid-match lull during which he was treated by a trainer for a foot problem and reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory over Karen Khachanov on Tuesday. The No. 5-seeded Fritz, an American who was the runner-up at last year's U.S. Open, came in with a 1-4 record in major quarterfinals, 0-2 at Wimbledon. He'll now meet either two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain or unseeded Cam Norrie of Britain for a berth in the final. Fritz powered his way to a big early lead against No. 17 Khachanov, taking 40 of his 47 service points across the initial two sets and never facing a break chance in that span. But then two-time major semifinalist Khachanov grabbed eight of nine games. It was during that stretch that Fritz took a medical timeout, removing his right shoe and sock so the trainer could retape the foot. Khachanov broke to begin the fourth set, in a game in which Fritz's top serve was 117 mph, 18 mph slower than his fastest of the match to that point. He looked up at his guest box and tapped his racket against his thighs, perhaps indicating that he was dealing with some fatigue. From 2-0 down in the fourth, though, Fritz began to regain his strength and touch, and was just two points from victory a total of three times while up 5-4 and 6-5. But Khachanov got things to the tiebreaker, where the score was 4-all, before Fritz claimed the final trio of points. Fritz finished with 16 aces and reached a top speed of 138 mph by the end. Khachanov, never past the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, fell to 0-11 in Grand Slam matches against opponents ranked in the top five. ___

Fifa opens office in Trump Tower, deepening ties with US president
Fifa's relationship with US president Donald Trump now has a physically tangible marker, with soccer's world governing body announcing that it has opened an office at Trump Tower in New York City. The announcement of the new office opening came on Monday evening, after Fifa placed the Club World Cup trophy on display in the lobby of the skyscraper on the south-west corner of Central Park in an event attended by several Fifa dignitaries including its president Gianni Infantino, the Brazilian great Ronaldo and Eric Trump, the son of the US president and executive vice-president of the Trump Organization. 'Fifa [is] a global organisation [and] to be global, you have to be local, you have to be everywhere, so we have to be in New York – not just for the Fifa Club World Cup this year and the Fifa World Cup next year – we have to be in New York as well when it comes to where our offices are based,' Infantino said. 'Thank you, Eric [Trump], thank you to everyone. Thanks, of course, to president Trump as well.' Fifa did not provide specifics on which staff or departments would be housed in the office, which makes the federation a tenant of the company owned by the sitting US president with a year to the start of its biggest and most lucrative tournament. The opening of the Trump Tower location follows Fifa's 2024 opening of an office in Miami, Florida, which houses the organization's legal division and some staff responsible for putting on the Club World Cup and next year's World Cup. Some staff from Fifa's global headquarters in Zurich were relocated to the United States to work in the latter office. 'On behalf of myself, on behalf of New York, on behalf of the Trump Organization and everybody that works in this building – we love you,' Eric Trump said in remarks at the event. 'We're honoured, we're excited about all the things that Fifa is doing.' The office opening continues Fifa's and Infantino's efforts to appear publicly close to the US president, with Infantino describing his relationship with Trump as 'absolutely crucial' in a meeting with the International Football Association Board (Ifab) in February. Infantino has since appeared with the US president at several public events, including at the Oval Office when announcing the creation of a World Cup task force. In that meeting, Infantino presented Trump with the Club World Cup trophy, which has continued to be on display in the Oval Office for all of the president's scheduled events in the space. Infantino was later present at the first public meeting of the World Cup taskforce, at which he was seated alongside Trump with vice-president JD Vance. Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Infantino also accompanied Trump to the Middle East this year – a trip that made him late for the Fifa congress in Paraguay, angering Fifa delegates who walked out of the gathering in protest. Uefa later accused Infantino of putting 'private political interests' ahead of his Fifa responsibilities, and Human Rights Watch demanded that Infantino reveal the specific purpose and details of his trip, which he has yet to do. 'As president of Fifa my responsibility is to make decisions in the interests of the organisation,' Infantino said at the congress, where he apologized for his tardyness. 'I felt that I needed to be there to represent football and all of you.'
