Franchon Crews-Dezurn: Boxing was once a means to an altogether other purposes for Franchon Crews-Dezurn.
She joined a boxing gym to shed weight while pursuing a singing career.
Crews-Dezurn is the undisputed super-middleweight world champion today, and he battles Savannah Marshall in the main event live on Sky Sports next weekend, on July 1.
“I started boxing only to lose weight for singing. All I wanted to be was an R&B pop star like Destiny’s Child or Beyonce,” she explained to Sky Sports.
“I just wanted to lose five pounds in one day, and now I’m over here in the UK fighting. That is my life.”
She is a very gifted vocalist. Crews-Dezurn has also appeared on the television show American Idol. While she is forming a rivalry with Marshall, the champion also has a battle with Simon Cowell.
“If he’s in the UK, I hope he comes to the fight. That would be such a satisfying conclusion. I suppose if I win, I’d like to meet Simon Cowell or at least hear from him. He said that I couldn’t be good at everything. He informed me of this. It wasn’t in a negative manner, but it was in a Simon kind of way,” she explained.
“I told people on national television that if I don’t win American Idol, I’m going to be the world middleweight champion. Now I’m a super-duper. Undisputed world super-middleweight champion, pushing a whole sport ahead.”
“So that makes sense,” she continued. “At the very least, I’m great at boxing!”
Crews-Dezurn dubbed the “Heavy Hitting Diva,” has not ruled out singing the national anthem before her battle with Marshall.
“I might do it depending on how I feel as we get closer to the fight. It’s not out of the question,” she remarked.
In addition to singing, she has developed her own fashion collection and her own advertising firm to market her.
She is also capable of fighting.
