The fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which took place last Saturday for the undisputed lightweight title, achieved an audience record by having 1.5 million views, as reported by DAZN, the network that was in charge of broadcasting the fight.

It is a great achievement for women’s boxing, which managed to capture a large audience and prove that it can lead major boxing cards as it did on this occasion. 

It was also announced that 19,187 people attended Madison Square Garden in New York, also a record number for women’s boxing, which was in the main fight of an evening at this venue for the first time in its 140-year history. 

The WBA is proud of what women’s boxing has achieved and applauds this historic moment that will give it another dimension.
