Jane Couch: 'Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano is massive, but boxing ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Taylor-Serrano will be the first women's fight to headline Madison Square Garden on Saturday, but Couch says there is still a long way to go.

Couch cites some of boxing’s luminaries fighting in America – from Mia St John and Christy Martin, to Lucia Rijker and Ann Wolfe. “It was only a matter of time for the sport to take off. “But ultimately, female boxing has increased massively since there was women’s boxing in the Olympic Games in London in 2012, and we are pleased with how it is moving. With Serrano and Taylor being the first women to headline at MSG, and it’s pay-per-view – all that’s brilliant, brilliant for the sport – but I’m not really amazed because there have always been great women boxers.” The head of one of those, Mauricio Sulaiman of the World Boxing Council and one of the sport’s true innovators, concurs with Couch. “It has been a long, difficult road for women’s boxing, and we have been there from day one. You are seeing only the few successful ones that are on Sky or DAZN. But there is still so much to do to put women’s boxing on anything like an even keel with men’s boxing.” “Yeah, sure Taylor-Serrano is massive,” agrees Couch, the five-time world champion, now 53, who won a landmark case for women to be allowed to fight in 1998.
