Blac Chyna is heading from the courthouse to the boxing ring after reportedly having inked a deal to front her very own boxing match next month. According to Radar Online, the mother-of-two signed on the dotted line to take on an unknown opponent, whose identity will be revealed during the official press conference on May 14.
The boxing match, hosted by Official Celebrity Boxing and BitcoinRodney, is being organized to raise money for charities benefiting animals. All proceeds will be directly sent to those non-profit corporations, while the celebrities participating will be paid an undisclosed fee. Damon Feldman, who is producing the event, revealed, “I am excited to announce Blac Chyna will be fighting with official celebrity boxing and donating all her fees to various animal charities.
He continued, “She has been a fan and calls us her guilty pleasure! We have been holding on to this news for a long time and feel that today is the perfect time to share the news and know her match will be talked about for years.” The match will take place on June 11 at the Charles Dodge Center in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Other celebrities taking part include Chris Rock’s brother Kenny, whose opponent has yet to be revealed, while former childhood star Aaron Carter is going head-to-head with Love & Hip Hop star Benzino.
News of Chyna’s upcoming boxing match comes amid her court trial against the Kardashians, who she accused of getting her reality show, Rob & Chyna, canceled following a dispute with her then-fiancé Rob Kardashian. The two called it quits shortly after the altercation, but according to the Lashed founder, it was during this time when the Kardashians allegedly began making calls at E! to tarnish the chances of Chyna continuing her working relationship with the network.
During his testimony in court last week, Rob, the father of Chyna’s daughter Dream, said he had feared for his life when the 33-year-old held a gun to his head, which he asserted had happened on more than just one occasion. He described the act as “not love.”
“She strangled me, she put a gun to my head twice, she was on cocaine and alcohol,” Rob told the jury. He began to raise his voice after Chyna’s attorney Lynne Ciani quizzed him about why he didn’t have any bruising or marks on his body from the attack. “I just told you it didn’t leave a mark on my face! And the gun to my head two different times during the night didn’t leave a mark to my temple!” he responded.
It was previously revealed in court that Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian had sent emails and text messages to E! producers, saying that the relationship between Rob & Chyna was too violent and toxic for them to carry on with a second series of their reality show.
