Franchon Crews-Dezurn weighed in at 167.8 for her WBC Super Middleweight title defense at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA.  Originally, Crews-Dezurn was scheduled to face WBC Heavyweight champion, Alejandra Jimenez.  However, for some unknown reason, the bout was scrapped.

 A familiar foe will take Jimenez's place, however, in Maricela "La Diva" Cornejo of Los Angeles, CA.  Cornejo (13-3, five KO's) dropped the WBC title to Crews-Dezurn by 10-round majority decision almost one year to the day by majority decision in Las Vegas, NV.    Since that bout, Cornejo won an eight-round unanimous decision over Erin Toughill on January 27th in Hollywood, CA.  Cornejo weighed 166.8 for this bout against Crews-Dezurn. 

The contest has added significance because the vacant WBO Super Middleweight title will also be on the line.  The bout will be streamed live on DAZN.
