Amanda Serrano accused Katie Taylor of backing out of a promise to fight 12 three-minute rounds as the rivals exchanged words at a surprisingly fiery news conference in New York. <\/b><\/p>\n

Serrano even wore a headguard to the face-off, a nod to her accusation Taylor kept deliberately headbutting<\/a> her in their last fight.<\/p>\n

Taylor, 38, will defend her undisputed light-welterweight titles in the much-anticipated trilogy bout at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York on 11 July.<\/p>\n

The Irishwoman narrowly won both previous encounters, most recently a points decision in November in Texas.<\/a><\/p>\n

Puerto Rico’s Serrano, 36, wanted the third fight to be over 12 three-minute rounds,<\/a> rather than the 10 two-minute rounds used in women’s boxing.<\/p>\n

“We shook on it. If you can roll the tapes, we shook on it. She didn’t agree when we went to sign the contract,” Serrano said.<\/p>\n

“If that’s her choice then that’s her choice, but I believe that women should get the recognition and the equality that the men get.”<\/p>\n

The pair have always insisted that while there is no friendship, they share a mutual respect.<\/p>\n

But there was plenty of needle when a wide-eyed Serrano removed the headguard and stared into a smirking Taylor’s eyes, before they both departed the stage without a handshake or even a nod of acknowledgement. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
