Amanda Serrano will fight in Manchester next month - but Katie Taylor will not be her opponent.
Many had hoped to see the Puerto Rican face the Bray Bomber on this side of the Atlantic this autumn, but their highly anticipated rematch will now not take place until next spring at the earliest.
Serrano will instead face Sarah Mahfoud for the opportunity to become the undisputed featherweight world champion at the Manchester Arena on September 24.

The 33-year-old, who lost to Taylor via split decision earlier this year at Madision Square Garden, holds the WBO, WBC and IBO belts at 126lbs, while Mahfoud has the IBF strap.
The pair had been scheduled to clash on the undercard of Jake Paul v Hasim Rahman Jr earlier this month in New York, but the MSG event was scrapped after Youtuber Paul withdrew from his bout over an argument surrounding Rahman Jr's weight.
Serrano v Mahfoud will take place on the undercard of Joe Joyce v Joseph Parker, with the latter of those fighters trained by former world middleweight champion and Limerick native Andy Lee.
