There is danger for Ireland’s undisputed world lightweight champion as she tops the bill in New York against a ferocious opponent

, Taylor and Serrano are deeply respectful. That respect stems from a clear sense of the jeopardy surrounding this fight for both women.

There is some logic in the tendency to think that Taylor is on the slide for she has had over 200 bouts as a dominant amateur and a celebrated professional. In the last two years she also shipped real punishment in gruelling victories over, twice, and Natasha Jonas. Taylor is 35 and even great fighters are in decline at such an age.

Yet she will need to be extremely wary. Serrano is at her most dangerous in the first four rounds and, being two years younger than Taylor, seemingly the fresher fighter after so many easy pro contests. Taylor is the superior boxer but she is not the female answer to Willie Pep or Pernell Whitaker. She can’t resist standing and trading and to do that against Serrano, especially early on, would be hazardous. In her last fight, against Sharipova, Taylor left herself worryingly open.

Paul responded with a demand they have a $500,000 bet and, while Hearn grinned and wavered, the YouTube star suddenly doubled the stakes to a million.
