  "account": "Former Big Brother Naija star, Mike Edwards, has challenged Carter Efe, a streamer and content creator, to a boxing bout following his recent victory over singer Speed Darlington in their \"Chaos in the Ring\" fight. Edwards, who is also a professional boxer, called on Carter Efe to stop fighting lesser opponents and accept a \"real challenge.\" He reminded Carter Efe that he had previously challenged him to a fight after Carter Efe's first bout, stating that Carter Efe had continued to avoid the matchup despite having fought three times. Edwards wrote, \"@carterefe, stop the cap. Now you’re saying you want to fight 'real men' and 'real fighters'... I've been right here the whole time.\" He acknowledged that Carter Efe was \"getting his bag,\" but urged him to offer fans a bigger contest. Edwards is working with Dr Eazy Adamu and Balmoral Promotions to arrange the proposed bout, which he hopes will be officially staged. He concluded his challenge with a direct message to Carter Efe, saying, \"You say you want a real fighter? I'm not hard to find. Quit ducking me.\"",
