Lizzy Anjorin Accepts Paulo’s ₦10m Boxing Challenge to Fight Iyabo Ojo
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted a ₦10 million celebrity boxing challenge reportedly proposed by show promoter Paulo Okoye, setting the stage for a potential showdown with fellow actress Iyabo Ojo.
The development comes amid a long-standing public feud between Anjorin and Ojo, which has played out across social media and in interviews over the years. Paulo’s offer, which includes a ₦10 million prize purse, was aimed at settling the rivalry in a controlled entertainment setting rather than through continued online exchanges.
Reacting to the proposal, Anjorin signaled her readiness to step into the ring, stating that she is open to the fight under the right conditions. While Iyabo Ojo has yet to give an official response, the challenge has already sparked widespread reactions online, with fans divided over the idea.
Supporters argue that a celebrity boxing match could serve as a unique and entertaining way to resolve differences, similar to recent influencer boxing events that have gained popularity globally. Others, however, have criticized the move, questioning whether it promotes unnecessary conflict.
Industry observers note that if the bout is confirmed, it could draw significant attention within Nigeria’s entertainment space, blending Nollywood drama with sports entertainment.
As of now, details such as the date, venue, and official rules of the proposed match remain unclear, but discussions are expected to continue in the coming days.
