International Women’s Day will take place on March 8 and to recognise the incredible contribution made by women in boxing, News has taken a closer look at some of the best women’s fights in recent years.
Headlining huge arenas in marquee battles, the women of boxing have delivered impeccably in the modern era.
There will be more to come in a gripping 2025, as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano meet in a trilogy fight in July, while Australia star and WBC world featherweight Skye Nicolson battles American Tiara Brown on March 22, Before these contests, we look back at some of the incredible moments we’ve already witnessed in women’s boxing.
he first female fight to headline Madison Square Garden, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano made history in 2022 as their fight attracted a sellout audience at the home of boxing. 
The famous arena, home to some of boxing’s biggest ever nights, was a grand fitting for such an occasion as the two rivals, both evenly matched, provided spectators with one of the best fights of the year.
Taylor overcame a horrific crisis when she appeared to be out on her feet, but she recovered brilliantly to take the verdict on the scorecards via split decision.
The fight won Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year for 2022 and was also nominated for Sports Business Journal’s Event of the Year, a testament to the global reach and power of the event.
With the world still very much gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic, Eddie Hearn’s decision to stage boxing in Matchroom HQ back garden was designed to provide a unique setting staging big fights.
One of those contests was filled with bad blood as Terri Harper and Natasha Jonas, following months of verbal exchanges between them and their respective teams, put on a cracker.
Harper began the bout a huge favourite, but it was clear that Jonas was able to match her all the way from the opening bell. Many believed the Liverpool fighter had done enough to have her arm raised, but the pair could not be separated as the bout was scored a draw.
