Kicking off fight week for their trilogy bout, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano showcased their skills at an open workout at Oculus World Trade Center in New York. The two fighters meet for the third time on July 11, battling it out in the main event live on Netflix, from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Ireland’s two-division undisputed champion Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) puts her super lightweight title on the line and looks to score her third win over Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs). The latter – the seven-weight champion from Puerto Rico – aims to take revenge for two previous defeats and become the undisputed champion in her second weight class.

The open workout on Tuesday also saw other fighters battling it out on the night. The co-main event features Alycia Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs) of Fremont, Ohio, defending her undisputed super featherweight title against Jennifer Miranda (12-0, 1 KO) of Spain.

On the undercard, IBF super middleweight champion Savannah Marshall (13-1, 10 KOs) of the UK and WBO champion Shadasia Green (15-1, 11 KOs) of Patterson, NJ meet in a championship unification. Another title unification pits unified IBF and WBO super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney (10-0) of England against WBC champion Yamileth Mercado (24-3, 5 KOs) of Mexico.

WBA bantamweight champion Cherneka Johnson (17-2, 6 KOs) of New Zealand and IBF champion Shurretta Metcalf (14-4-1, 2 KOs) of Dallas, TX clash for the undisputed title, with the vacant WBC and WBO belts also at stake.

On the prelims, Somalian-British former title challenger Ramla Ali (9-2, 2 KOs) goes up against Lila Furtado (11-2, 2 KOs) of Brazil at super bantamweight. Plus, Tammara Thibeault (2-0, 1 KO) of Canada and Mary Casamassa (6-0, 1 KO) of Pittsburgh, PA go head-to-head at middleweight.
