Chrisean Rock's boxing comeback against Morgan Cook, originally set to headline Celebrity Boxing's next Smack Fighting event on November 20 at Harrah's Casino in Philadelphia, has been postponed. Rock said she must prioritise therapy appointments for her three-year-old son. The matchup stays the same and is now set for March 20 of next year at a venue yet to be announced, airing on pay-per-view via Triller TV. Rock and Cook will still have an in-ring face-off at the November 20 event.
Chrisean Rock's planned boxing return against Morgan Cook has reportedly been pushed back by four months, from November 20 to March 20 of next year, as first reported by Bloody Elbow. The report has not been officially confirmed.
The bout was originally slated to headline the next Celebrity Boxing Smack Fighting event at Harrah's Casino in Philadelphia. Rock is said to have asked for the delay because she must prioritise therapy appointments for her three-year-old son. The matchup itself is unchanged: Rock and Cook are still set to meet, now on March 20, with the venue yet to be announced. The fight is expected to air on pay-per-view via Triller TV.
The postponement does not remove the two women from the November 20 card entirely. Rock and Cook are still expected to take part in an in-ring face-off at the Philadelphia event, giving the promotion a promotional beat on the original date even without the main event.
What changes and what stays the same
- Date: moved from November 20 to March 20 of next year
- Venue: Harrah's Casino in Philadelphia no longer applies to the fight itself; a new location has not been announced
- Opponent: unchanged, with Rock facing Morgan Cook
- Broadcast: pay-per-view on Triller TV
- November 20: Rock and Cook still expected to face off in the ring
Why it matters
The delay leaves Celebrity Boxing's November 20 show without its planned headline bout, though the face-off keeps both fighters attached to the date. It also stretches the build to the fight to roughly four months from the November 10 date of this report, a long runway for a pay-per-view attraction that relies heavily on promotion and name recognition.
Because the details come from a single report and have not been officially confirmed, the new date and the face-off plans should be treated as subject to change until the promotion says otherwise.
