Katie Taylor once again demonstrated her incredible spirit and skill in the boxing ring during her rematch against Amanda Serrano on November 15. Co-headlining the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Taylor retained her undisputed super lightweight title with a unanimous decision victory. Her triumphant walk to the ring was marked by a deeply personal touch, as she entered to the powerful anthem “Awake My Soul” by Hillsong Worship.
The song, which features the lyrics, “Awake my soul and sing Sing His praise aloud Sing His praise aloud” beautifully encapsulates themes of renewal and faith. These words echoed through the arena, providing a glimpse into Taylor’s mindset as she prepared for one of the most significant fights of her career. Her choice of entrance music reflected her strong Christian faith, which has always been a cornerstone of her journey both in and out of the ring.
For those unfamiliar, Hillsong Worship is a globally recognized Christian music group that originated from Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. Since the early 1990s, the group has been at the forefront of contemporary worship music, producing iconic songs like “What a Beautiful Name,” “Who You Say I Am,” and “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” Their music, known for its heartfelt lyrics and melodic depth, has resonated with millions worldwide, crossing cultural and denominational boundaries.
Taylor’s performance in the ring matched the strength and determination captured in the song’s message. Despite facing challenges during the bout—including a penalty in the eighth round for headbutts that caused a cut above Serrano’s eye—Taylor maintained her composure. All three judges scored the fight 95-94 in her favor, a testament to her skill and resilience.
This rematch followed their historic first fight in 2022, which Taylor also won. The rivalry between the two has captured the attention of boxing fans around the globe, with speculation now mounting about a potential trilogy fight to settle the score once and for all.
Katie Taylor’s walkout to “Awake My Soul” not only set the tone for her victory but also highlighted the unwavering faith that fuels her journey. It was a moment that underscored her status as a true champion—both in the ring and in life.
