Chrisean Rock has taken a huge step in her pursuit of a professional boxing career.

Rock signed with XRumble Fighting Championships as part of its boxing division on Wednesday, according to TMZ. The rapper was joined by Chrisean Jr. and her manager Kimberly Ross when she sat down with Damon Feldman to sign her contract.

Rock is expected to compete in the first female Super Middleweight Championship, which will be held at Harrah's Philadelphia Casino in Chester, PA on Saturday, April 25.

Feldman tells TMZ that Rock has been working with Gervonta Davis' former trainer Calvin Ford.

"Beyond grateful… my first boxing deal is finally done," Rock wrote in an Instagram post confirming she has signed with XRumble.

Rock previously posted a video of herself training, stressing how serious she has taken this turn as a professional boxer.

Rock was playfully sparing with Ryan Garcia on a livestream last month when the lightweight boxer accidentally made contact with her face. Garcia was adamant that it was an accident, to which the rapper responded by playing up the moment.
