Chrisean Rock’s previously reported boxing debut has found an opponent and fight date, according to TMZ.
Rock will face professional wrestler Zenith Zion on April 25 in a three-round bout at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania. The event will also stream on Triller pay-per-view, placing Rock’s first sanctioned fight on a national stage.
Zion enters with a clear experience edge. The Philadelphia native previously held the AWA Women’s Television Championship and has spent years performing in combat-based sports. She earned the fight after being selected from more than 5,800 applicants for the chance to spar with Rock, a process that framed the bout as more than a novelty.
Zion made her intentions clear in a promotional video. While throwing punches, she issued a direct warning: “Be prepared, Chrisean, because I’m coming to kick your ass.”

Rock, however, has taken visible steps toward legitimacy. Earlier this month, she signed with XRumble Fighting Championships’ boxing division. She has also been linked to Calvin Ford, the longtime trainer of boxing star Gervonta Davis, suggesting a structured approach to preparation.
“Beyond grateful… my first boxing deal is finally done,” Rock said when announcing the signing, framing the bout as a career milestone rather than a stunt.
Her interest in boxing surfaced publicly last December during a livestream training session with Ryan Garcia. Garcia accidentally landed a punch and immediately apologized, saying he “didn’t mean” to connect. Rock laughed it off and asked to continue, a moment that went viral and fueled debate about her toughness.
That clip divided viewers. Some questioned her readiness for competition. Others praised her composure and willingness to engage. The April fight now offers clarity.
The matchup blends contrasting profiles. Zion brings discipline and ring awareness. Rock brings visibility, intensity, and curiosity. Together, they reflect celebrity boxing’s evolving balance between entertainment and competition.
Tickets for the event are on sale now. For Rock, April 25 represents more than a debut. It marks an attempt to redefine how seriously she is taken once the gloves are on.
