Lizzy Anjorin Accepts ₦10m Boxing Challenge, Demands Paulo Face Her Husband First

Nollywood star Lizzy Anjorin has accepted the ₦10 million boxing challenge from promoter Paulo Okoye, who is linked to rival actress Iyabo Ojo. In a 3 May 2026 Instagram post, she agreed to the bout—but only if Paulo fights her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round match first. This move reignites the ongoing feud between Anjorin and Ojo. Their bitter dispute has included court cases, defamation claims, and fierce exchanges on social media since 2024. Ojo’s ₦1 billion lawsuit against Anjorin was later dismissed. Celebrity boxing has become a hot trend in Nigeria’s entertainment scene. Just recently, street-pop artist Portable lost to comedian Carter Efe in a high-profile fight in Lagos, stoking further interest in these star-studded showdowns.
