Big Lex vs Tesehki is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, with Zeus Network coverage beginning at 4 p.m. ET. Tesehki is set to trade reality TV drama for a showdown inside the ring, and the card is being sold as the Pound for Pound Baddie Showdown.
Zeus at 4 p.m. ET
The 4 p.m. ET start gives Zeus viewers a fixed entry point for the broadcast, which matters because this card is being built around a layered schedule rather than a single bout. Tesehki and Big Lex are both familiar faces to Zeus viewers, so the network is using their matchup as one of the night’s attention drivers.
That lineup reaches beyond one fight. Claressa Shields faces Kaye Scott on the same night, and Shields-Scott headlines the card while Mercado-Tagoe sits in the co-main event. Ray J vs. Orlando Brown and Xavier vs. Noah are also part of the Zeus presentation, giving the show more than one recognizable draw.
State Farm Arena in Atlanta
State Farm Arena in Atlanta gives the event a larger stage than a typical reality-TV crossover bout, which is why the schedule is being treated like a live sports broadcast instead of a casual special. For viewers, that means the date, venue, and start time are the most reliable markers to plan around before the night’s order settles.
Fight order, bouts and broadcast times are subject to change, so the 4 p.m. ET window should be read as the broadcast start rather than a ring-walk guarantee for Big Lex and Tesehki. That leaves the most practical question unresolved: where their fight lands inside the card once the night gets underway.
Pound for Pound Baddie Showdown
Pound for Pound Baddie Showdown is the promotional wrapper around the event, and it helps explain why Zeus is leaning into a mix of fight names and reality-TV familiarity. The structure is simple for viewers: tune in at 4 p.m. ET, expect the card to unfold around a larger arena program, and do not assume the first bell will land right at the top of the broadcast.
For anyone planning to watch Big Lex vs Tesehki, the smartest move is to treat Zeus Network’s 4 p.m. ET start as the opening bell for coverage, not the final word on ring walks. The bout is set, the venue is set, and the broadcast clock is set — the exact fight slot is the part still moving.
