Phyna reveals tactics behind Nkechi Blessing knockout

Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, claimed victory in the first female celebrity boxing bout of "Chaos in the Ring" event in Lagos, defeating actress Nkechi Blessing in the ring. During an interview with comedian Egungun, Phyna revealed her strategic approach to the bout, which was the key factor behind her knockout win.

She explained that she chose not to engage Nkechi in a power struggle, as the actress was physically larger than her. Instead, Phyna relied on wisdom, as opposed to anger, to outsmart her opponent. Her coach instructed her to keep moving throughout the fight, which allowed Phyna to switch tactics once she noticed Nkechi was not following a conventional boxing stance.

Phyna's strategy paid off, as she knocked out Nkechi Blessing in the first round of the celebrity boxing bout. The winner of the event, Phyna, ruled out the possibility of a rematch with Nkechi, stating that there was no need for one. She also revealed her interest in fighting other celebrities, such as Wathoni Anyansi and Etinosa Idemudia.
