WWE and DAZN have announced a partnership to promote the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight.

Undisputed women's Lightweight Champion Taylor is set to defend her titles against Serrano on April 30 from Madison Square Garden.

The event will air exclusively on DAZN. The streaming service announced a partnership with WWE on Wednesday that will see several Superstars promote the event.

Becky Lynch will lead "Team Katie Taylor" for her fellow Irishwoman. Lynch will be joined by Finn Balor, Sheamus, Shayna Baszler, and Sasha Banks on the team.

Bianca Belair will lead "Team Amanda Serrano." She'll be joined by Damian Priest, Queen Zelina, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

Both Lynch and Belair will be present during the official weigh-ins on Friday.

WWE posted a video of Lynch and Taylor on Wednesday.

"Not only are we two of the greatest Irish champions in history, but we are the two most dominant women to ever enter a ring. On April 30, exclusively on DAZN, Katie Taylor will keep her undefeated record intact and leave Madison Square Garden with all of the belts she walks in with," Lynch says in the video.



A custom WWE Raw Women's Championship will be given to the winner of the fight.

"What did DAZN do when they began brainstorming promotional ideas ahead of the most prominent women’s fight of all time? The global streaming service called WWE, the sports entertainment giant with a proven track record of building the biggest women’s superstars in the world," DAZN wrote.
