Blac Chyna has turned to celebrity boxing after losing her $100 million lawsuit against the Kardashians, having just signed up for a fight against influencer and fitness model Alysia Magen.
The news was broken by Celebrity Boxing on its Instagram page that Chyna, 34, will be facing off Magen on June 11. The two are shown facing down each other and being kept apart by Celebrity Boxing CEO Damon Feldman, in an image posted alongside the breaking news.
The former exotic dancer donned a championship belt on the red carpet of a press conference to promote the fight, which takes place at Charles F. Dodge City Center in Pembroke Pines, north of Miami.
The reality star will be following in the footsteps of famous faces such as Tonya Harding, Joey Buttafuoco and Vanilla Ice, all of whom competed on Celebrity Boxing back when it was a TV show.

Chyna's latest venture comes after losing a lawsuit to the Kardashians earlier this month. In 2017, she'd sued the famous socialite family for $100 million after claiming they defamed her and conspired to kill her reality show with former partner Rob Kardashian, Rob and Chyna.
During the case, Chyna was accused of violence against her former fiancé, with Kardashian claiming she even held a gun to his head during one fight, although Chyna – real name Angela White – insisted it was a joke.
Having lost the case, she last week accused Judge Gregory Alarcon of the Superior Court of Los Angeles - who presided over her case - of 'extreme bias' and filed a peremptory challenge against him.
The Kardashians responded by saying 'their effort to make a scapegoat of Judge Alarcorn is frivolous, dishonest and deserving of sanctions.' Chyna also intends to appeal the original verdict.
She's clearly not taken the defeat well, with the Daily Mail reporting she's currently involved in some further legal wrangling thanks to a battery charge made against her by seemingly ex-friend, Sequoya King.

King alleges that Chyna kicked her in the stomach outside a Los Angeles club last Friday four days after losing in court.
The two women then started arguing, before being ushered out of the club by security. Chyna wasn't finished there, though, according to King.
'We're going back and forth for three or four minutes. I felt like I was in an episode of [reality show] Love and Hip Hop' she said.
'She's calling me names, I'm calling her names. So I hit her where it hurts. I told her: "You're being a really nasty person to me right now. And that's why you did not win your lawsuit. Because you're a very nasty person.

'When she heard that, she charged towards me. She kicks me, right in my stomach. I stumbled back, I got knocked down.'
Sounds like she'll have the aggression to do well in Celebrity Boxing at any rate!
