Franchon Crews-Dezurn signs with Salita Promotions

Franchon Crews-Dezurn has a new, multi-fight deal with Salita Promotions.

Franchon Crews-Dezurn has signed a new, multi-fight deal with Salita Promotions.

Crews-Dezurn (9-2, 2 KO) hasn’t fought since routing Shadasia Green in December 2023, taking all of 2024 off, but will likely return to action soon. She currently holds both the WBC and WBA super middleweight titles.

The 37-year-old veteran’s two losses have come against Claressa Shields, in the fight where both of them turned pro in 2016, and Savannah Marshall in July 2023. She’s a former undisputed champion at 168 lbs, and aims to do so again.

“I am thrilled to be signed with Salita Promotions,” she said. “Dmitriy Salita and his team have proven to be trailblazers in women’s boxing, and their commitment to spotlight women is unmatched. There is no shortage of exciting fights that await me in my pursuit to become the undisputed champion again.”

At the moment, that would mean rematches with Green, who holds the WBO belt, and Marshall, who holds the IBF title and hasn’t boxed since beating Crews-Dezurn in July 2023.
