Crews-Dezurn vs.
Cederroos Undisputed
Super Middleweight Clash Coming This Spring |
|
Franchón Crews-Dezurn and
Elin Cederroos have signed promotional deals with Eddie
Hearn and Matchroom, and the Super-Middleweight rulers
will meet for the undisputed title in the spring.
WBC and WBO champion Crews-Dezurn (7-1 2 KOs) officially
defends her straps for the first time, after the first
defense of her WBO and second of the WBC against
Alejandra Jiménez in January 2020 was declared a no
contest after Jiménez failed a drug test. Crews-Dezurn
won the WBC crown in just her fifth pro fight in August
2018, edging out Maricela Cornejo and added the vacant
WBO strap in her first defense of the WBC belt when she
rematched Cornejo 11 months later.

Lyubomyr Pinchuk Added
To
Joe Smith Jr. Undercard Jan. 15 |
|
Star Boxing is pleased to
announce an NABA Gold Cruiserweight Title bout addition
to the Joe Smith Jr. vs Callum Johnson undercard on
January 15 at Turning Stone.
25-year-old Pittsburgh based Ukrainian, LYUBOMYR “THE
DEMOLITION MAN” PINCHUK (13-2-1 8KO’s) is set to
challenge for the vacant NABA Gold Cruiserweight Title
against Virginia product JOSE MARIO “BAZOOKA” FLORES
(8-2-2 4KO’s) in a 10-round title bout. Pinchuk was most
notably seen on Ring City USA against rising undefeated
American heavyweight STEPHAN “BIG SHOT” SHAW (15-0
11KO’S). Pinchuk moved up to heavyweight for the bout
and brought the fight to Shaw over a tough 8-rounds.
While falling short, Pinchuk used this opportunity as a
learning experience and would return to his natural
cruiserweight division in dominating fashion, just
months later, with a TKO victory over Andrew Satterfield
in his hometown of Pittsburgh.
