Baltimore, MD's "Heavy Hitting Diva" Franchon Crews Dezurn will battle Maricela "La Diva" Cornejo of Los Angeles, CA in a nationally-televised 10-round bout for the interim WBC Super Middleweight championship on Thursday, September 13th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The bout will be shown on ESPN2.
For Crews Dezurn (3-1, one KO), this is the biggest contest since her pro debut in Las Vegas in November of 2016 when she lost a four-round unanimous decision to Claressa Shields. In her last outing, Crews Dezurn won a six-round unanimous decision over Tiffany Woodard on January 12th in Verona, NY.
Cornejo (12-2, five KO's) has won eight straight bouts since suffering a 10-round split decision loss to Kali Reis for the WBC Middleweight title in Auckland, New Zealand in April of 2016. This bout made history as the first major world title bout in that country. Cornejo has won the WBC International Super Middleweight title. Cornejo is coming off a third-round TKO win over Samantha Pill on July 13th in Los Angeles.
