Nkechi Blessing, Phyna Set to Settle Rivalry in Boxing Match
Ferdinand Ekechukwu Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday and reality TV star Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, are set to take their ongoing social media beef to the boxing ring
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday and reality TV star Phyna are preparing to settle their rivalry in a boxing match on October 1, 2026. The event, organized by Balmoral Group Promotions, is titled "Phyna vs Nkechi" and serves as part of the "Chaos in the Ring" fight series. This marks the first time female celebrity fighters will take the ring, with fans expressing interest in seeing other female celebrity rivals like Iyabo Ojo, Liz Anjorin, Toyin Abraham, and Funke Akindele settle their differences.
Balmoral Promotions CEO Ezekiel Adamu confirmed that the organizers are open to bringing more celebrity beefs to the boxing arena, emphasizing that the fights are driven by the entertainment value they generate. The CEO stated that they choose fights based on the "major eyeballs" they will attract, rather than actively creating the beefs themselves.
While the female celebrity fighters remain undecided, other celebrities slated to participate include streamer Carter Efe and singer Speed Darlington, who are expected to face off for the first time. Adamu highlighted Carter Efe's status as Africa's leading streamer as a factor in their selection process.
