Nigerian celebrity boxing deal dispute

Overview

A dispute has emerged among Nigerian reality television stars and influencers concerning a multi-million-naira celebrity boxing deal. The conflict began when Phyna accused content creator Ashmusy of attempting to sabotage her participation in the event. Phyna claimed she had been in negotiations since February and had recommended Ashmusy for the bout, only for Ashmusy to allegedly request Phyna be replaced. Ashmusy denied these allegations, stating she merely expressed hesitation about participating and requested a different opponent to avoid fighting someone she was on good terms with.

The controversy expanded to include other personalities. Fellow reality star Chichi criticized Phyna, calling her “a disgrace to the people from the streets.” Additionally, Cross Okonkwo suggested on social media that Venita Akpofure should participate in a boxing match against Phyna. Akpofure rejected the suggestion, questioning the ethics of watching women be punched for entertainment.
