Lizzy Anjorin Accepts Boxing Challenge, Sets Strict Conditions for Iyabo Ojo Showdown

Controversial Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin, has officially accepted a celebrity boxing challenge reportedly thrown at her by fellow actress, Iyabo Ojo, in a development that has continued to dominate conversations across social media platforms in Nigeria.

The proposed celebrity fight, which has stirred widespread reactions among fans and industry observers, is the latest chapter in the long-standing public feud between both actresses, a rivalry that has played out across social media, interviews, and legal engagements over the years.

On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Iyabo Ojo reportedly reignited the conversation by publicly challenging Lizzy Anjorin to a boxing match, while also calling on potential sponsors to support the proposed entertainment bout, a move that immediately went viral online.

In a swift response on the same day, Lizzy Anjorin took to her social media page to declare her acceptance of the challenge, stating clearly that she was ready for the fight but under specific and non-negotiable conditions.

“As at today, 3rd May 2026, I accept your challenge,” she was quoted as saying in her widely circulated response.

However, Lizzy Anjorin attached a series of conditions to her acceptance, insisting that the proposed fight would not take place without certain prerequisites being met.

She demanded that Paulo Okoye, who has been linked to the organisation of the proposed fight, must first step into the ring with her husband, Chief Lawal, in what she described as a ten-round boxing match before she would consider facing Iyabo Ojo.

She further stated that only after that bout would she agree to a second fight with Iyabo Ojo, adding that the arrangement must be properly structured and publicly verified.

Lizzy Anjorin also made additional remarks questioning the credibility and financial standing of the parties involved, demanding public clarification on their claimed assets and influence before any official fight arrangement could proceed.

Following her response, the development sparked renewed reactions on Monday, May 4, 2026, as entertainment platforms and blogs amplified the story, framing it as a continuation of one of Nollywood’s most talked-about celebrity rivalries.

By Tuesday, May 5, 2026, the conversation had escalated further, with Lizzy Anjorin issuing additional remarks in a video message where she warned against what she described as “provocation tactics,” while reiterating that she was prepared for the challenge under her own terms.

The ongoing exchange has since triggered widespread debate among fans, with social media users divided over the seriousness of the proposed boxing match, as well as the conditions attached to it, turning the matter into one of the most discussed entertainment topics of the week.

As of press time, no official date or confirmed event venue has been announced for the proposed boxing match, and neither Iyabo Ojo nor the alleged organizers have publicly confirmed acceptance of Lizzy Anjorin’s conditions in full.

The situation remains fluid, with observers noting that while the proposal has generated massive online attention, the actual staging of the celebrity boxing bout is yet to be formally confirmed.
