Chrisean Rock, known for her appearances on reality TV shows, is set to make her boxing debut after nearly 6,000 women applied to be her opponent. Rock will compete in a three-round fight on April 25 at Harrah's Philadelphia Casino, which will also be available on pay-per-view through Triller.

Why it matters

Rock's transition to boxing marks a new chapter in her career, as she looks to showcase her athletic abilities beyond reality television. The high number of applicants to face her in the ring demonstrates the growing interest in women's boxing and the star power Rock has built through her previous TV appearances.

The details

From the pool of nearly 6,000 applicants, organizers selected Zenith Zion, a Philadelphia-based wrestler with ring experience and a past run as the AWA Women's Television Champion, to be Rock's opponent. Rock has been training under Calvin Ford, who coached former world champion Gervonta Davis, and the bout marks her first appearance after signing with XRumble Fighting Championships, which recently expanded into boxing.

• The fight is scheduled for April 25, 2026 at Harrah's Philadelphia Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania.
• Rock's training session with Ryan Garcia, where he accidentally landed a punch, took place late last year and added to the anticipation around her potential debut.
