The excitement generated by the viral celebrity boxing match between street-hop singer, Portable, and content creator, Carter Efe, has barely faded, yet fans are already clamouring for more dramatic celebrity showdowns.
Across social media platforms, Nigerians have transformed timelines into virtual boxing arenas, proposing celebrity rivalries they believe could fill stadiums, settle long-running disputes, and ignite massive fan interest. From Nollywood feuds to music industry rivalries, several names continue to dominate conversations online.
Iyabo Ojo vs Liz Anjorin
The rivalry between actresses Iyabo Ojo and Liz Anjorin remains one of Nollywood’s most controversial feuds.
For years, both actresses have exchanged accusations, social media attacks, and legal threats, with their supporters also deeply divided. Many observers believe a celebrity boxing bout between them could serve as the ultimate climax to their prolonged dispute.
Fueling the speculation, Ojo recently posted videos on Instagram showing herself in boxing gloves while teasing a possible fight with Anjorin. She also called on entertainment figures to sponsor the proposed showdown.
Anjorin, however, wasted no time responding. In several videos shared online, she insisted she was prepared for any confrontation, boasting about her physical strength and declaring she would dominate in the ring.
Wizkid vs Davido
Few rivalries in African music have attracted as much attention as the long-running competition between afrobeats superstars Wizkid and Davido.
Since rising to fame in the early 2010s, both artistes have continuously been compared in terms of hit songs, awards, streaming numbers, and international success.
Their loyal fanbases — Wizkid FC and 30BG — have also intensified the rivalry online, turning virtually every achievement into a heated debate. Many fans believe a boxing match between the two music giants would “break the internet”.
Burna Boy vs DJ Tunez
Speculation around a potential clash involving Burna Boy and DJ Tunez intensified after videos surfaced online showing both men involved in a physical altercation at Obi’s House in Lagos.
Reports claimed the confrontation escalated after members of Burna Boy’s entourage allegedly joined the incident before calm was restored.
DJ Tunez later alleged on social media that the fight was unfair because Burna Boy’s associates intervened. The incident also drew reactions from Wizkid, who publicly criticised Burna Boy online.
Since then, fans have continued to debate what a formal boxing rematch between both entertainers would look like.
Funke Akindele vs Toyin Abraham
Another celebrity pairing gaining attention is the perceived rivalry between actresses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.
Speculation resurfaced after a viral moment at the premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s movie reportedly showed Akindele ignoring Abraham during an attempt to greet her.
Although many believed both actresses had resolved their past issues, the incident reignited discussions about lingering tensions. Iyabo Ojo later revealed she had repeatedly tried to reconcile the duo over the years.
Fans now believe a celebrity boxing bout could finally settle the long-standing competition between two of Nollywood’s biggest box office stars.
K1 De Ultimate vs Obesere
In the fuji music scene, the rivalry between K1 De Ultimate and Obesere remains legendary.
Their disagreements have spanned decades, with Obesere openly criticising K1 on several occasions over leadership and influence within the fuji industry.
Although K1 has largely avoided public exchanges, many fuji music lovers would welcome a boxing showdown between both veterans.
Peter Okoye vs Paul Okoye
The long-running rift between twin brothers Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye has also made them fan favourites for a hypothetical celebrity boxing match.
As members of the defunct music duo P-Square, the brothers dominated African pop music for years before repeated disagreements led to public breakups and reconciliations.
Their family and business disputes have continued to attract widespread public attention, making the idea of a boxing match both dramatic and symbolic.
Gideon Okeke vs Jim Iyke
The tension between actors Gideon Okeke and Jim Iyke emerged after public criticism over Nollywood and generational differences within the industry.
Their exchanges quickly became a wider conversation about the direction of the film industry, with fans divided over who was right.
Many believe a boxing clash between the actors would symbolise a battle between Nollywood’s old and new generation stars.
VeryDarkMan vs Blord
Social media activist VeryDarkMan and businessman Blord are also among the names fans want to see in the ring.
Their online clashes, accusations, and counter-allegations have repeatedly dominated social media conversations, with supporters on both sides demanding a physical showdown.
Carter Efe vs Shanks
Following his headline-making bout with Portable, fans are already suggesting another fight for Carter Efe — this time against fellow content creator Shanks.
Although both comedians rose through Nigeria’s booming online entertainment scene, tensions between them have become increasingly public.
While Shanks recently suggested they were on good terms, Carter Efe dismissed the claim during a livestream, insisting there was no friendship between them.
With fan curiosity growing, many are eager to see whether the online rivalry could eventually evolve into another celebrity boxing spectacle.
