The highly anticipated bout between female boxers Amando Serrano and Katie Taylor may be the first fighting event at the new MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. It was previously expected that the UFC would be the first team to use Sphere's incredibly immersive video and audio technology during the Mexican Independence Day fight on September 16th. However, according to reports, negotiations are underway to hold the Serrano-Taylor fight in Las Vegas, with an official announcement expected this week.
The first match between a Puerto Rican and an Irish female boxer was held at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2022. After a hard-fought 10-round fight, Taylor narrowly defeated Serrano on points. Sports Illustrated called the bout “the fight of the year,” and many still cite it as the greatest bout in women's boxing history.
Initially, the two received instructions after their first meeting rather than immediately planning a rematch. However, Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that talks are underway for a rematch two years after their first fight. This highly anticipated women's boxing match is scheduled to take place in June.

Sin City's stunning $2.3 billion arena opened last year and boasts a capacity of more than 18,000 and other impressive features. The arena is 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, making it an amazing new addition to Las Vegas' famous skyline. The exterior also features the world's largest LED screen, creating an array of stunning visuals.
The innovative arena's budget was originally $1.2 billion, but it eventually ballooned to $2.3 billion due to construction cost inflation caused by the pandemic. The venue's primary use is for music acts, and the main stage is surrounded by a large indoor LED screen that wraps around the audience, creating the ultimate immersion experience.
MSG's new Sphere Arena lets you bring your performance to life with a variety of animations as your seats vibrate. Spectators will also be surrounded by various machines for additional effects such as scents and wind for a 4D experience.
The sphere can also host martial arts events, and Dana White seems ready to start taking advantage of its resources. The UFC president reserved the arena for the Mexican Independence Day fight, promising fans the best live combat experience. However, Mexico's Independence Day isn't until September, so there's a chance that Serrano and Taylor could surpass him.
