Amanda Serrano has suggested that the only way she will fight Katie Taylor for a third time is if the bout is fought over 12 three minute rounds.

The pair battled it out in another all-time classic in Texas last week following their 2022 bout at Madison Square Garden. Taylor won by unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium two and a half years after her split-decision victory in New York.

Serrano, a long-time advocate for women's bouts being fought under men's rules, says she is only interested in a trilogy fight if it is over the longer distance as she accused the undisputed super lightweight champion of 'excessive headbutting' and 'excessive holding'.

"Listen, I didn’t know — there was a lot of headbutting going on and a lot of holding going on," she told CBS Mornings when asked if she thought the result was fair. "But listen, I’m just happy that we were able to perform on this platform and millions of people saw what they saw and I believe I won the fight which means we have to go for the third fight.

"I’m 100% interested (in a third fight), she said she is. The only way I feel like it will be fair is if we go under the men’s rules which is three minutes and 12 rounds, and she agreed to it so let’s see if she’ll take the fight."

She added: “It was excessive from headbutting and excessive holding. We had warned the referee beforehand when we was in the locker room that that’s what she does. We fought her before and we knew that’s what she does. She likes to come in with her head. I’m not saying it was done intentionally but knowing the way Katie fights, that’s how she fights.

“So we just warned the referee beforehand and he said don’t worry, he’ll handle it, and obviously he didn’t handle it as good as he was supposed to.”
