Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted a ₦10 million boxing challenge issued by show promoter and Iyabo Ojo’s lover, Paulo Okoye, reigniting the bitter feud between the two actresses.

Anjorin confirmed her readiness to step into the ring in an Instagram post on May 3, 2026, saying,

“As at today, 3rd May 2026, I accept your challenge.” However, she added new conditions, stating that Paulo must first fight her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round match before she faces Ojo.

This latest move escalates their ongoing public dispute, which has involved legal battles, accusations, and defamation claims. In 2024, Okoye had first floated the idea of the celebrity boxing match between Anjorin and Ojo, with a ₦10 million prize for the winner.

The feud between the actresses intensified in 2025 when Ojo filed a ₦1 billion defamation lawsuit against Anjorin, though the case was later dismissed. The rivalry has played out across social media, courts, and public statements, with both parties trading barbs online.

Anjorin’s acceptance of the boxing challenge comes amid a growing trend of celebrity boxing matches in Nigeria’s entertainment scene. Recently, street-pop artiste Portable lost a high-profile bout to comedian Carter Efe at a celebrity fight event in Lagos, further fuelling interest in such contests.

Nigerians will overdo something that it will then lose its value. Overdo is our problem.

The person I feel sorry for in all of this is Bash Ali. This world is not fair

portable juju no fail abi

What kind of nonsense is this? Is this the new trend in town to distract Nigerians from their sorrowful & deteriorating lives?

Jollof Rice and Guinness World Records no longer satiate their appetite & myopic minds

I strngly advise for the sake of Iyabo Ojo's children that she steps down the idea.

Iyabo Ojo & Liz anjorin is not entertainment but vengeance.

Bunch of unserious noisemakers. Portable and Carter Efe don cause wahala now. Everybody wan enter ring dey fight. With all the challenges we are going through as a nation, all you mofos can think of is a chicken fight. Sense don run away for some people

what all this boxing matches flying around until someone faint them no go stop. nigeria and over do

See what Nigeria has become... smh 🤦‍♂️ there was once a country.. and elections na juz few months away

No madam anjorin, ladies should take the stage first, because that's the principles, Ladies First. abi no be so again?

Radarada!!!

Empty barrels will just be making noise everywhere in nigeria

Typical Nigerians, once one person starts something everyone will start doing it.

Very soon everyone will start organizing boxing matches and they will saturate the space the way they did ure water business

all these content creators should go and sleep

No fit laugh ooo...
This is going to be a bout between two Witches...On a lighter note,Lizzy might knock down iyabo cos iyabo will be out of composure...

What kind of thinking is this? Who did this to us?

Now they want to harmlessly establish evil and baseless agenda. This is a wrong influence and it will do no good.

If this is not stopped, a time will come when someone may die in the boxing ring.

Why is Oga Paulo disgracing himself, bringing himself so low just cuz you're dating fake and packaging Iyabo Ojo,fact still remain that Iyabo Ojo belonged to dirty side of Nollywood,this dirty side started from TIATA group and Lizzy belonged to that group....and funny Lizzy was telling you Paulo to fight her illiterate and riffraff husband first,haha a whole Paulo......if not for south west Nigeria that love anything entertainment do we need to be celebrating all these locals who are contributing nothing to the society than encouraging divorce, single mothers,body bleaching,telling young ladies you can do it without men bla bla

Wow!
I, much watch this fight

We need baba ijesha and yomi fabiyi to enter ring too

What's Nigeria boxing council doing about all these illegal celebrities boxing fight,even professional boxers in Nigeria don't earn a million naira for a fight but Efe Carter pocketed 50 million naira..... bookmark this post,if this is not stop, someone go kpai for ring one day
