The WBC super Middleweight title clash between Shadasia Green and former undisputed champion Franchón Crews-Dezurn will share the spotlight as the co-main event with Jake Paul and Andre August. The WBC mandated the Green-Crews-Dezurn bout in September. This was a result of Savannah Marshall, the reigning champion, being labeled the champion in recess due to recovery from summer right-hand surgery.
Amanda Serrano, whose historic 12-round fight was lauded by boxers and fans alike from all over the world, has wished her luck. Reposting Paul’s post announcing the fight, she has expressed gratitude towards the infamous internet star and cheered on Green while providing some valuable advice.

What role did Jake Paul play in Amanda Serrano’s success?
In a serendipitous turn of events, a tweet from Serrano expressing her desire to feature on a Jake Paul pay-per-view undercard sparked a collaborative effort between Showtime, Paul, and Nakisa Bidarian. The result? Serrano secured a co-main event spot in August, marking her first collaboration with Paul and Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions.
