Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted a N10 million boxing challenge issued by show promoter and Iyabo Ojo’s lover, Paulo Okoye, reigniting the ongoing 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 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 public dispute, which has involved legal battles, accusations, and defamation claims.

In 2024, Okoye first floated the idea of a celebrity boxing match between Anjorin and Ojo, with a N10 million prize for the winner.
The feud between the actresses intensified in 2025 when Ojo filed a N1 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 sides exchanging barbs online.
Anjorin’s acceptance 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 driving interest in such contests.
