Crews-Dezurn and Cederroos were due to clash in September but the Swede was forced out of the hotly anticipated clash, leading it to be shelved for a second time, having also been slated for June but cancelled for the first time.
\u00a0
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 Jim\u00e9nez in January 2020 was declared a no contest after Jim\u00e9nez 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.
\u00a0
IBF and WBA champion Cederroos (8-0 4 KOs) is ranked #1 with Ring Magazine at 168lbs and the undefeated former pro soccer player-turned elite fighter will be looking to add the Virginia fighter\u2019s belts to her straps and make it back-to-back wins over American fighters in her second fight in the US. The 36 year old made her Stateside bow against Alicia Napoleon-Espinosa in Atlantic City in January 2020, crucially flooring the New Yorker in the second round on the way to unifying the IBF strap with Napoleon-Espinosa\u2019s WBA title by one point on all three cards.
\u00a0
The pair have been itching to get their hands on each other and find the #1 at Super-Middleweight, and now they get their chance on the biggest platform possible, with Taylor and Serrano meeting in the biggest female fight of all time \u2013 and both Crews-Dezurn and Cederroos are ready to shine in the spotlight.
\u00a0
\u201cMany iconic moments have happened at MSG, especially in boxing,\u201d said\u00a0Crews-Dezurn<\/strong>. \u201cSo to be\u00a0alongside\u00a0to two of the best P4P boxers in the sport and make history becoming the undisputed champion makes everything in my career worth it thus far. I bet on myself in my iconic pro debut and now it\u2019s time bring home the jackpot. New York is where dreams are made of and mine will come true April 30, I am winning all the belts.\u201d

\u201cI have been waiting for this fight for so long now – but this has made it worth the wait,\u201d said\u00a0Cederroos<\/strong>. \u201cTo be fighting at Madison Square Garden is a dream come true and to be doing so on such an historic night for women\u2019s boxing is a real honor.
\u00a0
\u201cI know that Franchon is confident that she will win, but she\u2019s never fought anyone like me. I will be taking those belts back to Sweden and making it a night I will never forget.\u201d
\u00a0
\u201cI am thrilled to be delivering this dream opportunity to Franchon and Elin,\u201d said promoter\u00a0Eddie Hearn<\/strong>. \u201cWhat a night it will be for them, Katie and Amanda \u2013 truly showcasing the rise of women\u2019s boxing on the biggest of all stages.
\u00a0
\u201cThey deserve all the credit in the world for their work in raising the profile of the sport, but this is business \u2013 the undisputed champion at 168lbs is going to be in massive fights this year, so they will both leave everything on the line.

\u00a0
Years in the making, Taylor vs. Serrano is the biggest fight\u00a0ever\u00a0in women\u2019s boxing between the pound-for-pound #1 and #2\u00a0fighters of the world and one that will not only make boxing history, but women\u2019s sports history.
