Also, Franchon “The Heavy Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn (9-2, 2 KOs) won by unanimous decision over MVP’s Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green (13-1, 11 KOs), becoming the new WBC Super Middleweight World Champion and WBA Interim Champion.

Paul had a ball with Team USA Boxing stars Morelle McCane and Joshua Edwards, dancing to “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” in his walkout.

Among those in attendance: Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswany, Chantelle Cameron, Riddick Bowe, Tyron Woodley Team USA Boxing stars Mo McCane and Joshua Edwards and MVP’s H2O Aston Sylve, who will headline Most Valuable Prospects V in Orlando, Florida on Friday, February 2.

Caribe is happy to report this card accumulated the highest recorded gate for a boxing event in Orlando’s history. Miguel Cotto’s bout vs. Delvin Rodriguez at the Amway Center, which has a capacity of 20,000, in October 2013 was the highest grosser.
