(Reuters) - Ireland's Katie Taylor will put her undisputed world lightweight title on the line against Puerto Rican Amanda Serrano in April when they become the first female fighters to headline a card at New York's Madison Square Garden, promoters said on Thursday.

Billed as the biggest fight in women's boxing history, the April 30 bout will see 35-year-old Taylor (20-0 6 KOs) put her lightweight belts on the line for the sixth time since winning them in June 2019 in a battle with Delfine Persoon.
