Astonishing 5,824 Women Vie for the Spot
Damon Feldman, founder of XRumble Fighting Championships, disclosed that nearly 6,000 women submitted applications to challenge Rock in what marks the promotion’s inaugural female Super Middleweight Championship.[1] He selected Zenith Zion from this massive pool after careful consideration. The three-round contest will stream as a pay-per-view event on Triller TV, with tickets already on sale for the live audience. Feldman emphasized the unprecedented interest generated by Rock’s profile.
This overwhelming response underscores the draw of celebrity crossovers into combat sports. XRumble, known for celebrity boxing events, positions this fight as a milestone in its expansion to women’s divisions. Organizers anticipate significant viewership drawn from Rock’s dedicated fanbase.
Zenith Zion: Wrestler Turned Boxing Challenger
Zenith Zion brings a background in professional wrestling, where she once held the AWA Women’s Television Championship.[1] Described as a slap fighting prospect, she issued a bold challenge on Monday: “Be prepared, Chrisean, because I’m coming to kick your ass.”[1] Zion’s experience in high-impact matches equips her for the transition to boxing gloves.
Details on Zion’s slap fighting record remain emerging, but her wrestling credentials signal physical prowess and ring savvy. Feldman highlighted her as the ideal matchup, balancing competition with entertainment value. Fans can expect a clash blending grappling roots and striking power.
Rock’s Rapid Rise to the Professional Ranks
Chrisean Rock, 25 and hailing from Baltimore, first signaled her boxing ambitions after a viral street altercation in Compton last December.[1] She sparred publicly with Ryan Garcia later that month, though he accidentally connected with a jab during the session. In early January, Rock, accompanied by her young son Chrisean Jr. and manager Kimberly Ross, signed a contract with XRumble’s boxing division alongside Feldman.[3]
The deal paved the way for this title opportunity in the 160- to 170-pound class. Rock’s prior ventures, including reality shows like “Baddies” and music releases such as “Vibe,” have built a massive following primed for her ring exploits. Her entry reflects a broader trend of entertainers testing combat skills.
Elite Training Fuels Debut Preparation
Rock relocated training to her hometown gym in Baltimore under Calvin Ford, the veteran coach who previously guided Gervonta “Tank” Davis through an undefeated streak.[1][4] Feldman noted her positive mindset and dedication during sessions. She shared glimpses of workouts on social media, wrapping hands and drilling fundamentals.
This partnership provides Rock with world-class technical input ahead of the April showdown. Ford’s emphasis on patience and belief aligns with her transition from street fights to structured bouts. Observers point to consistent progress in her clips as evidence of seriousness.
