Amanda Serrano Wants Katie Taylor Fight As Long As She Gets ‘Paid What I Deserve’

Amanda Serrano wants to face Katie Taylor next but says the payday needs to be right.

Serrano earned a clear-cut decision victory over Yamileth Mercado on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on Sunday, and after the fight, she called out Taylor once again. It would be a massive fight and Serrano says they are on a collision course for it to happen.

“We definitely want that fight,” Serrano said at the post-fight news conference (via MMAJunkie). “I definitely want to fight Katie Taylor. She’s arguably the No. 1, No. 2 – we both, between Claressa Shields, me and Katie are the top three. I definitely want the fight and we’re hoping if I become undisputed champion that fight can come along. I want it to be undisputed champion vs. undisputed champion, but I don’t know what’s happening now, so we’ve just got to go back and figure it out. All she has to do is continue to win, and I continue to win and then that fight is going to happen.”

Taylor is set to defend her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and “The Ring” lightweight titles against IBF mandatory challenger Jennifer Han on Sept. 4 at Emerald Headingley Stadium in Leeds, England. If she wins, which many expect her to do, than perhaps the Serrano fight is next.

Yet, if the fight is going to happen, Amanda Serrano says the payday needs to be right as she believes she deserves more money than what she has been getting.

“(I need) the right pay day,” Serrano said. “I’ve done everything I’ve had to do. I’m fighting good fights – top-10 girls. I’m beating them. I’m doing what I have to do to continue to keep my name out there, and it’s just up to the promoters and the money. I want to get paid what I deserve.”
