Nollywood star, Lizzy Anjorin has reignited her bitter feud with actress Iyabo Ojo and her partner Paulo Okoye by accepting a long-proposed celebrity boxing match.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Anjorin wrote, “As at today, 3rd May 2026, I accept your challenge.”
She added a twist, demanding Paulo first battle her husband, “You (Paulo) and Chief Lawal will fight 10 rounds non-stop in the ring. Then the next day, it will be me and Iyabo Ojo in the ring.”
The move escalates a years-long dispute involving social media clashes, court cases, and a 2024 ₦10 million boxing prize idea from Paulo.
Tensions peaked in 2025 with Ojo’s ₦1 billion defamation suit against Anjorin, later struck out.
Anjorin also taunted them to “publicly present proof of their assets and achievements.”
This comes amid Nigeria’s rising celebrity boxing trend, like Portable’s recent loss to Carter Efe in Lagos.
