Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has confirmed she is taking her ongoing feud with Big Brother Naija star Phyna out of the comment section and into the boxing ring.

On Friday, September 18, Nkechi shared a promotional poster on Instagram revealing the two women will square off in a bout officially titled "Chaos in the Ring."

The event is billed for October 1, 2026, at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, with broadcast coverage on DAZN and SuperSport.

The actress did not hold back in her caption, issuing a pointed message directly to Phyna while expressing complete confidence in her chances.

The two women have been trading heated words on social media for some time, with Phyna previously going public about the origins of their dispute.

What began as an online clash has now escalated into a scheduled professional bout, giving both women the chance to settle things face to face.

The post quickly triggered a wave of reactions from followers who had mixed feelings about whether the fight was genuine or simply a calculated content play.

According to Phyna, time and maturity changed her perspective, and she now believes a proper conversation could help both parties understand what really went wrong.
