Baddies star Chrisean Rock scored her first knockdown in a dicey win against Zenith Zion, a professional wrestler, in her April 25 boxing debut at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino.
The event served as a crossover of two unusual fighters for the equally unusual match. Rock secured the win, although the results were highly contested by judges and viewers alike. Rock still held the feat in high regard.
The match was a star-studded affair in itself. According to
Forbes, the main event of the night had former boxer Floyd Mayweather Sr. as referee. His daughter, Fatimah, also fought in the co-main event.Rock’s first-round knockdown of the fighter shocked viewers. However, Mayweather Sr.’s officiating also concerned fans, especially with his long-winded count to qualify the knockdown. The countdown allowed Zion enough time to regain her breath and continue the fight with Rock.
The judges came to a split verdict on Rock’s win, which noted a knockdown of Zion in the first round. However, another knockdown call against Rock, prompted by Mayweather Sr., was made in the final round.
Despite the controversies surrounding the fight, particularly toward its lack of regard for boxing regulations, Forbes noted how Rock’s domination in the ring urged the majority of the judges to swing her way.
The fight itself came about following a viral fight in December 2025, which prompted Rock to begin training for a more professional career in boxing. She announced her deal with XRumble in January, vlogging her journey to secure her own championship belt.
As for Zion, the wrestler was selected out of over 5,800 applicants. Known for her slap fighting, she is a former winner of the AWA Women’s Television Championship, as reported by iHeart.
Zion’s professional training in another fighting style could not overcome Rock and her “holy hands.” Now, fans have called for a rematch to the atypical event.
