UNDEFEATED LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT ATIF OBERLTON TO FACE ROAMER ALEXIS ANGULO ON ZEUS NETWORK UNDERCARD FOR SHIELDS vs. SCOTT EVENT ON DAZN

The ZEUS Celebrity Boxing Card will open the evening at State Farm Arena on Saturday, Aug. 15,preceding the DAZN championship broadcast headlined by Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion Claressa Shields' historic showdown with Unified WBC and WBA Middleweight World Champion Kaye Scott. The card features two celebrity boxing contests between some of Zeus’ biggest personalities, highlighted by Tesehki vs. Big Lex and Ray J vs. Orlando Brown.

Headlined by one of the platform's most prominent rivalries into the boxing ring. Tesehki and Big Lex first crossed paths on ZEUS' hit franchise Baddies, where years of on-screen confrontations and public exchanges transformed their feud into one of the network's defining storylines. 

Big Lex enters the contest following a training camp led by “The GWOAT” Claressa Shields, whose championship experience has helped prepare her for the transition from reality television to competitive boxing. Tesehki, a recording artist and one of ZEUS' most entertaining personalities, will look to translate her competitive edge into the ring as both women make their celebrity boxing debuts.

"Big Lex is the underdog, and that's exactly why I'm backing her in this fight and decided to train her," said Shields. "A lot of people don't realize she's a natural athlete and has a much bigger advantage than she's getting credit for. She's been fully committed to training, and I stepped in to help sharpen the techniques that will give her an edge in the ring. She picked it up incredibly fast. Fans are in for a show."

The co-feature pits two familiar names from television and music against one another. Actor Orlando Brown, known for his television career, steps into the ring against Grammy Award-nominated recording artist, entrepreneur and television personality Ray J. 

Ray J has prepared for his boxing debut with guidance from former four-division world champion Adrien Broner, adding the experience of one of boxing's most accomplished champions to his camp. 

Brown first rose to prominence through his work on television before becoming one of entertainment's most talked-about personalities in recent years. Ray J has built a career spanning music, television, business and digital media, making him one of the most recognizable crossover entertainers of the past two decades. Both men will make their celebrity boxing debuts on Aug. 15.

ZEUS Network has emerged as one of streaming's leading destinations for original unscripted programming, cultivating a highly engaged audience through hit franchises like Baddies. The platform's cultural impact has transformed personalities such as Tesehki and Big Lex into two of its biggest stars, making their long-awaited meeting one of the most anticipated crossover events in the ZEUS ecosystem.

”This partnership is about bringing together two worlds that know how to captivate audiences, " said founder and CEO of Zeus Network, Lemuel Plummer. “At ZEUS, we've built a platform around personalities and stories that people genuinely invest in, and now those rivalries get to play out on one of the biggest stages in sports. Having our talent share the spotlight on the same night as a history-making championship event headlined by Claressa Shields is a tremendous opportunity. Atlanta is in for an unforgettable night from the opening bell to the main event."
