The rematch has been two and a half years in the making and on Friday we get to see these two great warriors go to war once again.
Both fighters are naturally older - Taylor turned 38 in July, while Serrano hit 36 last month - but the two of them believe they are more experienced boxers now. However, both still predict an absolute war when the bell sounds for the co-main event to Mike Tyson v Jake Paul.
"The first fight with Amanda was obviously epic, I know the second fight is going to be even more epic so I can't wait," said Taylor earlier this week. "There's not going to be a lot of feeling out in the second fight, we know each other so well now we spent ten rounds together so we're just going to go straight into an all out war again on Friday night.
"The last time it was fight of the year and this time I can't expect anything less."
Serrano added: "I hope it's going to be a fight. Katie's a warrior. She might start off boxing but once I hit her, I know she's going to come to fight. That's who Katie is. It's going to be a war. The fans are going to be the winners come Friday night."
