Footage has surfaced of Chrisean Rock getting wind of her upcoming opponent's bold words ahead of their April boxing match. Zenith Zion didn't hold back, vowing to 'kick' Rock's 'ass' in the ring. Rock's reaction? A mix of curiosity and shade.
Oop, the drama is already heating up in the boxing world! On Tuesday, February 3, Instagram user @livebitez dropped footage from a livestream featuring Chrisean Rock chatting with her boxing coordinators. Rock spilled that she has “a lot of pain and anger” inside her, hinting the match “should be cool to watch.” 🔥
Then came the reveal: her opponent for XRumble's first female Super Middleweight Championship fight is Zenith Zion. Rock peered at the phone screen and asked, “Who that?” and “What’s her name?” As she scrolled, coordinators suggested she do her “homework” later. But Rock fired back with questions: “So how long is the fight? And how many minutes in the ring?” She even pounded her fist for emphasis.
The real tea? Rock watched a video of Zion sending a direct message: “Be prepared, Chrisean. ‘Cause I’m coming to kick your ass.” Rock's response was pure shade: “Oh, that’s who that is,” she said. “How is she already talking stuff? We don’t know each other like that.” 😏
This all builds up to the main event on Saturday, April 25, at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania. As The Shade Room previously reported, Rock signed the deal last month, with the opponent initially undecided. Egypt Criss from Pepa’s fam even offered to hop in the ring, but Zenith Zion got the nod—and she's coming in hot.
Social media? It's buzzing with skepticism. @prissykrissy19 commented, “Now if she loses, she finna go on a 30 day rant abt how that boxing company used her to get clout...” @llethabellissimo noted Rock seemed “a little hesitant,” while @chriseancam joked she's “scared lol” and might pivot to skateboarding. Others like @the_investhers called her “super scared,” saying she's “way in over her head.” Ouch! Will Rock channel that pain into punches, or is this fight already feeling too messy? 👀
