Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor put on an excellent and historic boxing match that made the world pay attention to women's boxing. MMA fighter Kayla Harrison has been doing big things in her sport with the PFL and recently reacted to their historic match.
It can be argued that women's MMA is ahead of women's boxing considering the difference between the two sports. Kayla Harrison recently spoke out on the historic fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor.
“For me as a female athlete and as woman in general, and I think just an athlete, it was super inspiring to watch,” Harrison told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at the 2022 PFL 3 media day on Wednesday. “My hat goes off to both of them. They couldn’t have done a better job in the ring, out of the ring – class all the way.
“They raised women athletes to a whole new level that night. And I think that’s the goal besides trying to beat people up for money. The goal is to raise the bar and make it a little easier for the next generation so they don’t have to fight as hard to just get noticed. The goal is to take over.”
Kayla Harrison is set to return to the MMA cage on Friday as she looks to fight for the PFL million dollar championship in the first fight of her new lucrative deal. The former Olympic judoka has a big future in the sport and it will have to be seen what happens once her current contract is up and she becomes a free agent again.
