Crews-Dezurn (8-2, 2 KO's) last fought in July, losing the undisputed title to Savannah Marshall by majority decision. Her only two career losses are to Marshall and pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter Claressa Shields in the debuts of both fighters in 2016.
"I am looking forward to winning the WBC belt on my road back to becoming undisputed for a second time," Crews-Dezurn said in a statement. "Shadasia was always going to be my next fight.
"It's just under a little different circumstances but the same mission."
Green, 34, last fought in August, when she beat Olivia Curry by unanimous decision. Soon after, Green (13-0, 11-0), a former college basketball player at Old Dominion, was named the mandatory challenger.
"Stepping into the ring for the WBC super middleweight championship is a dream come true," Green said in a statement. "Franchón is a beast in the ring, but make no mistake -- when we meet in that ring, it's going to be an all-out war, and I'm coming for that title."
