Katie Taylor is now set for 'the biggest fight of all time in women's boxing' after beating Firuza Sharipova for her 20th consecutive win since turning professional.
Eddie Hearn is confident that the mega-fight between the undisputed lightweight champion and Amanda Serrano will finally take place next year after it fell through twice in 2020.
The Matchroom boss visited Madison Square Garden in recent weeks and says the contract is now with Serrano's team.
Speaking after Saturday night's fight, Hearn said: "The plan 100% is Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, that is the biggest fight in women's boxing.
"Katie's been wanting that fight for a long time.
"You know how difficult it is with these mega fights; she's undisputed champion, she's boxed two mandatory challengers in the last 12, 13 weeks, they're out of the way, she's taken care of her obligations, it's now time to make an historic fight at Madison Square Garden.
"That's the fight people want to see, it's the biggest fight of all time in women's boxing.
"We were at MSG a couple of weeks ago, they love the fight.
"Jake Paul, MVP, those guys, they love the fight and it's their chance to be involved in history as well.
"Amanda Serrano fights next week, we wish her the best of luck, they now have the contract, they're reviewing the contract and if she gets through next week I'm almost certain April you'll see Taylor-Serrano at MSG."
Taylor described a fight with Serrano at Madison Square Garden as "more than a dream".
She added: "This is what it's all about. This is why I'm involved in professional boxing, to be involved in the biggest fights possible.
"It's gonna be the biggest fight ever in female boxing. So this is an absolutely historic fight and it'll be great to be part of such a big night.
"Madison Square Garden is the Mecca of boxing, I had the privilege of fighting there twice already as a pro so to be involved in the biggest female fight possible in MSG, the biggest and most iconic stadium, it's more than a dream."
