Ray J emerged victorious Saturday night in a celebrity boxing match against Orlando Brown, winning by unanimous decision after three rounds at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The bout aired on the Zeus Network as part of the undercard for the Claressa Shields-Kaye Scott fight.
The matchup generated significant attention in advance, though the actual competition proved more entertaining than closely contested. All three judges awarded the fight to Ray J on their scorecards.
The victory provided Ray J with a measure of redemption following his previous boxing appearance in May, when he suffered a knockout loss to Supa Hot Fire at Brand Risk 14. That defeat resulted in hospitalization for Ray J.
Tensions between the two celebrities had been building in the weeks leading up to Saturday's fight. Brown repeatedly antagonized Ray J, frequently referring to him as "Brandy's brother." The animosity reached a peak at a press conference in early July when Brown struck Ray J with a stack of cash. Rather than escalating the confrontation, Ray J responded by laughing off the incident.
Despite the heated buildup, neither fighter appeared intent on delivering a particularly aggressive performance once the bell rang. The three-round contest quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with fans sharing clips and commentary as the action unfolded.
Ray J had previously indicated he remained willing to return to boxing despite the knockout loss earlier this year. When questioned about fighting again, he demonstrated no reluctance about stepping back into the ring.
The Zeus Network portion of the card also featured a bout between Baddies stars Tehneski and Big Lex, with Big Lex winning by unanimous decision. According to observers, the women's fight may have provided more competitive action than the celebrity matchup.
With the unanimous decision victory, Ray J secured bragging rights in his dispute with Orlando Brown while adding a win to his celebrity boxing record.
