Taylor vs Serrano 3 live: Start time, undercard, fight updates and results
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will fight one last time tonight, as they round out a historic boxing trilogy – one of the most important the sport has ever seen. In 2022, in the biggest women's fight of all time, Irish icon Taylor narrowly outpointed the Puerto Rican star at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Then, in November 2024, she repeated the result with another tight decision victory over Serrano – this time in AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. Taylor vs Serrano 2, thanks to its platform on Netflix, became the most-watched sporting event in US history with 55 million viewers. Now, the rivals return to Netflix and to Madison Square Garden, with Serrano, 36, aiming to finally get one over on Taylor, 39. 'The fact is I am 2-0 against her,' said Olympic champion Taylor, who defends the undisputed super-lightweight titles against Serrano tonight, as she did in November. 'Opinions are opinions, but facts are facts. I'm just sick of the complaining and whining from your team. The only thing that matters is that I'm 2-0 against her. I plan on staying unbeaten against her.' And there will be a stacked undercard for two-weight undisputed champ Taylor and seven-weight queen Serrano. The likes of Alycia Baumgardner, Savannah Marshall, Chantelle Cameron, Ellie Scotney and Shadasia Green are in action tonight. Welcome to our live coverage of Taylor vs Serrano 3!

Emmerdale legend warns that plan will 'end in tears' - but a shock follows
Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) has been left worried over Cain Dingle's (Jeff Hordley) desperation to help Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) in Emmerdale. As a result of the hysterectomy she had recently, Sarah can no longer carry a child. The news was so badly timed, as a few hours prior she was excitedly talking to Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) about him being her sperm donor for the IVF journey. Yesterday, Sarah was back in hospital as a result of Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) losing control of her car. Gabby had drunk an obscene amount of coffee that morning and felt dizzy at the wheel. She fainted, forcing passenger Sarah to try and bring the car to a stop. In the hospital, Sarah broke down to Cain. She admitted that all she wants is to hold a little mini version of her, and hates that she'll have to live with the fact it will no longer happen, as well as knowing her Fanconi Anemia will shorten her life. Cain's heart broke for Sarah. Determined to help, he then suggested that Sarah could look into surrogacy. It wouldn't be the exact same as carrying the baby and giving birth herself, but she didn't have many other options. Once Charity discovered this, she wasn't impressed. Outside, Charity told Cain that he's not being fair by getting Sarah's hopes up, as the plan would not work. Clearly needing a distraction from the grief he's feeling towards son Nate, Cain was absolutely adamant that he would make Sarah's dream come true. In tonight's episode, Cain spoke to best friend and local GP Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) about surrogacy. Unfortunately, Liam said that the chances of Sarah being successful with an agency would be slim, given her illness and everything she's been through recently. Frustrated, Cain relayed this to Charity, who wondered if it was a sign. More Trending But when they sat down to tell Sarah this, both characters could not bring themselves to break her heart again.

Instead, Cain lied and said that Liam thinks it's a really good idea. Sarah, who had spent the day warming to the idea of surrogacy, was grateful and felt like there was some light at the end of the tunnel at last. Sarah will not be able to find a surrogate through an agency, but upcoming episodes will see her discover there is another option. Charity will impulsively tell Sarah that she could carry the baby instead – but how will she react?
