WBC Super Middleweight champion "The Heavy-Hitting Diva" Franchon Crews-Dezurn of Baltimore, MD will make the first defense of her title on Saturday, September 14th at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA.
The opponent for Crews-Dezurn will be a formidable one as she will take on the reigning WBC Heavyweight champion Alejandra "La Tigre" Jimenez of Mexico City, Mexico. In her last outing, Crews-Dezurn (5-1, two KO's) won a non-title bout by fifth-round TKO over Kayla Williams on June 20th in Atlantic City, NJ.
Jimenez (12-0-1, nine KO's) competes in the United States for the first time. All of her previous bouts have been in her native Mexico. Jimenez won the heavyweight title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Martha Salazar in March of 2016 in Cancun. Three of her next four bouts were in the heavyweight division. Since April of 2018, Jimenez has competed at the light heavyweight and super middleweight level with her last contest being an eight-round unanimous decision win over Irais Hernandez on February 16th in Cancun.
This bout will be part of the card that will be headlined by Jaime Munguia defending his WBO Junior Middleweight title against Patrick Allotey. The card will be streamed live on DAZN.

I thought this website covered boxing around the DMV, did you know a great trainer by the name of Jim Ed Jones passed away2 sundays ago? He had Olympia Boxing Center in Falls Church VA since 1980 and closed it 2018 because he was I'll. He trained Tony Ojo, Willie Taylor, Mike Baker among many more. You did not mention anything about it. He was inducted into the DC hall of fame also, like I said I thought you covered the DMV. I've also watched some fights and you write on your website about your opinion on the fight, and I've disagreed with what you've posted on some fights. I feel you and Juan favor other fighters more, my opinion who cares
We were unaware of Mr. Jones's passing. Had we been informed, we would have definitely posted. Thank you for letting us know.
