Claressa Shields is on course for a rematch with Franchon Crews-Dezurn.
It had been reported that she would fight Che Keaneally, but a deal has been struck between Shields and Crews-Dezurn for a fight in February at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
Shields, 17-0 (3 KOs), recently re-signed with Salita Promotions. The 30 year old from Flint, Michigan, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and multidivision titleholder – one who most recently capture the undisputed women’s heavyweight crown. She last fought in July, when she defeated Lani Daniels via unanimous decision.
Crews-Dezurn, 10-2 (2 KOs), won her two most recent contests, against Shadasia Green and Citlalli Ortiz.
The 38 year old from Baltimore, Maryland, holds the WBC super-middleweight title. They previously fought in 2017, on the occasion of both of their professional debuts.
