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.
