Tyson vs. Paul: Can Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano have a Caitlin Clark effect on women’s boxing?

IRVING, Texas — Buried between hyperbolic promotional appearances by a reinvented heavyweight legend and an antagonistic influencer, Amanda Serrano issued quite an understatement following her open workout Tuesday night.

When asked what Netflix subscribers should expect from her and Katie Taylor in what figures to be a riveting rematch, the reserved Serrano sold low when the seven-division champion couldn’t have overpromised. Whereas millions of onlookers assembling beneath this extensive tent have little idea what to expect from 58-year-old Mike Tyson and 27-year-old Jake Paul, we can count on two women in their late 30s delivering another surefire “Fight of the Year” candidate in the 10-round co-feature before Paul and Tyson enter the ring Friday night at AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington.
