Katie Taylor believes Madison Square Garden fight with Amanda Serrano will be talked about in a similar light to Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier

Katie Taylor believes her fight with Amanda Serrano will be talked about 'for years and years to come' just like the historic first fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

Taylor and Serrano meet on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden to compete for the undisputed lightweight world titles in what is being described as the biggest fight in women's boxing history.

And she believes the pair are ready to leave their mark at the historic venue.

"I've even talked about every time you say 'Madison Square Garden' you think of the likes of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier." Taylor told TMZ Sports. "These kinds of fighters, fights that we still talk about to this day.

"So I feel like the fight between myself and Amanda will be talked about for years and years to come as well."

Ali vs Frazier was one of the most anticipated sporting events in history and it was watched by a reported 300 million viewers worldwide.

While Taylor vs Serrano won't attract anywhere near the same amount of attention, it will have its place in history given the transformative affect it could have on women's boxing.

Taylor went on to be questioned about the pay disparity between men and women in boxing.

It is reported that both Taylor and Serrano will earn seven figure purses for Saturday night's fight, which could set a precedent for the future of women's boxing.

"Absolutely, I think there will be follow-through, carry on with regards to the payday as well." Taylor said.

Jake Paul, who is co-promoting the event through his company 'Most Valuable Promotions' has been an advocate for higher pay in women's boxing and even called Top Rank CEO, Bob Arum, a 'dinosaur' for his disparaging comments about women's boxing.

"It's historic to say the least," Paul told talkSPORT. "The fact that it was the second most pre-sales in Madison Square Garden history is next level, I was blown away by that.

"It was what was needed in women's boxing, to really kick it off and send a big shock of momentum into it and to prove that these girls are worth seven figures, which is another massive, historic thing."
