Multi-champion Amanda Serrano called out promoter Eddie Hearn on Twitter. However, her tweet did not go unnoticed as her opponent Katie Taylor responded immediately.

Serrano and Taylor were supposed to clash in May. But the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic forced almost all major sporting events to shutdown. The duo was matched up for the second time in July.

Unfortunately, things didn’t pan out as they were supposed to, and the bout was moved again. Both women will now face off against each other on August 22 (Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin).
