Celebrity Boxing: Phyna Knocks Out Nkechi Blessing in Round 4

Reality TV star Phyna has defeated actress Nkechi Blessing by knockout in the fourth round of their celebrity boxing bout, claiming the championship belt and a brand-new car.

The highly anticipated fight took place in Lagos in the early hours of Friday, October 2, and marked the climax of a heated buildup that had generated significant attention on social media.

Phyna, the smaller and slimmer of the two, relied on speed and movement from the opening bell.

She threw quick punches and circled the ring to frustrate her opponent.In the second round, Blessing pressed forward aggressively, forcing Phyna into a series of heavy exchanges as both fighters traded blows.

The third round was more measured, with neither fighter establishing clear dominance as the contest remained closely fought.

The decisive moment came in the fourth round during another intense exchange. Phyna landed a powerful punch that sent Blessing crashing to the canvas.

The actress was unable to beat the referee’s count, handing Phyna a knockout victory.

The win earned Phyna the championship belt, along with a brand-new car presented by one of the event’s promoters.

Speaking after the fight, Phyna said the knockout had been part of her strategy from the start.

She explained that she planned to wear Blessing down and “gas out” her opponent before going for the finish.

The victory followed weeks of tension between the two entertainers, which had intensified during promotional activities.

Their rivalry had earlier spilled over at a press event, where the pair exchanged heated words and had to be separated after a physical confrontation.

Following her win, Phyna immediately set her sights on a new opponent, calling out actress Etinosa for a potential celebrity boxing bout.

Etinosa entered the ring and accepted the challenge, raising the prospect of another contest between the two, who were described as “two Edo girls.”
