WBC Female Super Middleweight champion "The Heavy Hitting Diva" Franchon Crews-Dezurn has signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions and will make her promotional debut on Saturday, June 20th at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ.

The Baltimore, MD resident (4-1, one KO) has not competed since winning the WBC title on September 13th with a 10-round majority decision over Maricela Cornejo in Las Vegas, NV.  No word yet on Crews-Dezurn's opponent.

Crews-Dezurn will be the third Beltway Boxer appearing on this card, joining fellow Golden Boy boxer D'Mitrius Ballard and Mike Reed.  The card will be streamed live on Facebook.

"I'm very excited to sign with Golden Boy as they are a Heavy Hitter in the boxing business," said  Crews-Dezurn. "Not only will I be working with legendary fighters and now businessmen like Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins but being on the roster with vast talents like Canelo gives me something to aspire to as a renaissance woman. You can see Golden Boy believes in women's boxing. They gave me my first shot at a title on national TV."

"Yet another world champion has joined our great stable," said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman, and CEO of Golden Boy. "But Franchon Crews-Dezurn is special because she is a renaissance woman. Aside from being the WBC Super Middleweight World Champion, she is also a talented singer, songwriter, designer, and motivational speaker. She will undoubtedly also be our ambassador as we continue to open up more opportunities for women in the sport of boxing."

"I'd like to welcome Franchon Crews-Dezurn to Golden Boy," said Bernard Hopkins, Golden Boy Business Partner. "I believe that she will one day be the unified champion. We are looking forward to her showing the world that she has all the ingredients to become an undisputed world champion. Congratulations!"
