Celebrities Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo could be the next set of Nollywood stars to step into the boxing ring. Iyabo recently made waves after challenging her colleague to a boxing bout over their ongoing online dispute. Lizzy Anjorin has now caused a stir by accepting the challenge but with several conditions attached.
Background of the Feud
On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo challenged her rival and colleague Lizzy Anjorin to a boxing fight. Sharing a video of herself practicing, Iyabo called on businessman E-Money and music executive Soso Soberekon to sponsor the match. Both responded positively in her comment section. Iyabo wrote, "Over to you @iam_emoney1 @sososoberekon no long talk ……….. how much £ …………….. on the table Team A Iyabo Team B Liz."
Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo have constantly dragged each other on social media. Recently, Iyabo shared a lizard meme on Lizzy's Instagram page, prompting Lizzy to fire back with bold claims.
Lizzy Anjorin Accepts the Challenge
Reacting to Iyabo's challenge, Lizzy Anjorin responded with an open letter, agreeing to go head-to-head with Iyabo. However, she revealed that Iyabo's partner and music executive Paulo would also have to face her man, Chief Lawal, in the ring. Lizzy stated that she would only agree to face Iyabo under this condition.
She wrote in part: "You (Paulo) and Chief Lawal will fight 10 rounds non-stop in the ring. Then the next day, it will be Iyabo Ojo and me in the ring. NB: - You can’t talk about your status or claimed fake riches. - The last time I checked, you and Iyabo Ojo are still tenants while Chief Lawal owns estates and mansions. - I challenge both of you to show your properties and achievements with proper documentation for verification."
While requesting a date for the boxing bouts, Lizzy Anjorin added, "I can’t wait to meet Iyabo Ojo in the ring to set the record straight for coming after my family."
