Katie Taylor’s world title rematch with Amanda Serrano has been postponed after the Puerto Rican sustained an injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fight promoters announced on Tuesday that the bout, due to take place in Dublin in May, “will not go ahead as planned”.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“The teams are in discussions about finding a revised date for the bout,” a statement said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Irish fighter Taylor beat Serrano <\/span>to retain her undisputed lightweight title<\/span><\/a> in New York last May. <\/span><\/p>\n

Their rematch was confirmed<\/span><\/a> after Serrano became undisputed featherweight world champion with a unanimous points win over Erika Cruz earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lightweight title showdown this year was set to be a homecoming for 36-year-old Bray native Taylor, who has never fought in Ireland as a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

There has been no announcement as to whether she will now face a different opponent in Dublin on 20 May.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Taylor-Serrano rematch had been lined up to take place at Croke Park, the GAA’s headquarters, but that seemed to have been ruled out due to cost issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conor McGregor made a public offer to help bring the fight to Croke and promoter Eddie Hearn met with the UFC star in Dublin to discuss his potential involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taylor and Serrano made history<\/span><\/a> as the first female contest to top the card at Madison Square Garden, with the Irishwoman winning on points. <\/span><\/p>\n
