Amanda Serrano calls for Katie Taylor rematch after comeback victory

Amanda Serrano wants a rematch with Katie Taylor after unifying the IBF belt with the WBO and WBC featherweight titles on Saturday night.

Serrano beat Sarah Mahfoud by unanimous decision at the Manchester Arena on the undercard of the heavyweight clash between Joe Joyce and Joseph Parker.

The 33-year-old was dropping down to featherweight after losing an epic battle with lightweight supremo Taylor at Madison Square Garden in April.

Putting her WBC and WBO featherweight titles on the line against IBF champion Mahfoud, Serrano started strongly but was made to work by the undefeated Mahfoud.

In the end, though, Serrano held out to win 99-92 and 97-93 twice on the judges' scorecards.

Now Serrano has her sights set on unifying the featherweight division by claiming the WBA belt held by Erika Cruz.

But then Serrano wants a rematch with the undefeated Bray boxer Taylor.

"I want the last piece of the puzzle to become undisputed," Serrano said after the fight. "Then the rematch with Katie Taylor.

"What better story than undisputed vs undisputed? It will add to both our legacies."

Taylor, 36, is in action next month at the Wembley Arena when she takes on Karen Elizabeth Carabajal.
