There will be a dual main event card at Madison Square Garden in August. Serrano will have to defend his title against Carabajal. The fight between Paul and Fury was supposed to take place in December but the fight was called off due to injury. They will face off against each other in New York. The younger brother of a champion will be the first boxer Paul has faced in his career. Love Island has a history in reality television of its own. The fight appeared to be in jeopardy in the past few days, but Paul decided to go ahead with the fight. He grew a set over night, according to Paul. I'm taking this little guy's head off.

In August, Serrano beat Yamileth Mercado by unanimous decision and will return to the weight class. It's the first fight for Serrano since her split-decision loss to Taylor at the Garden, a fight that sold out the Garden and has been considered the best women's boxing fight of all time. Serrano hadn't lost in over a decade.
Serrano will return to the weight where she has multiple titles after winning and losing at lightweight.
In May of this year, Carabajal defeated Debora Anahi Dionicius by a majority decision for the interim WBO title. She lost two fights for the WBO lightweight title, the first to Rose Volante and the second to Yohana Belen. She's been in her career for a long time.
There will be a news conference on Wednesday.
