Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing and Big Brother Naija winner Phyna are set to face each other in a celebrity boxing match in Lagos on October 1, 2026. Multiple outlets report that the fight follows weeks of online exchanges between the two.
Organisers announce the bout publicly and frame it as a high-profile “celebrity boxing” event. Daily Post Nigeria says the match is scheduled for the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, with the announcement made via an Instagram post. Legit.ng reports that Phyna reacts to the development after the match is confirmed and that Nkechi Blessing issues a challenge ahead of the event, including remarks encouraging people to bet on her.
While outlets focus on different angles—one emphasizing the organisers’ announcement and event details, and others highlighting social media responses and the public challenge—the underlying story is consistent: the celebrity feud is moving to the boxing ring on the stated date and location.
