According to a post on TVC News official X account on Thursday September 24 2026, Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing and reality TV star Phyna exchanged punches while appearing on The Morayo Show ahead of their celebrity boxing bout scheduled for October 1.
A video of the confrontation showed the two entertainers getting physical during the programme, with host Morayo Brown attempting to intervene as tensions escalated. The incident has drawn attention online as the pair prepare to settle their ongoing dispute inside the boxing ring.
The confrontation comes less than a week before the highly anticipated celebrity boxing contest, which will see Phyna, whose real name is Josephina Otabor, face Nkechi Blessing at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos.
The upcoming contest marks the first time female celebrities will headline a boxing event under the “Chaos in the Ring” franchise, which has previously featured entertainers including Portable, Charles Okocha, Speed Darlington and Carter Efe.
The clash between Phyna and Nkechi Blessing has its roots in a public disagreement that developed on social media before their scheduled meeting in the ring. Nkechi had previously criticised Phyna over her conduct online, while the former Big Brother Naija winner responded to the actress amid their increasingly public exchange.
Nkechi later announced the boxing contest and expressed confidence ahead of the October 1 encounter, warning Phyna that she was ready for the challenge. The fight is now expected to take their public rivalry from social media and television appearances to an organised boxing contest.
The latest confrontation on The Morayo Show has added another layer to the build-up, with footage of the two women throwing punches generating widespread reactions online.
Promotional materials released ahead of the event have already featured both entertainers in boxing gear, while organisers are yet to announce details of the undercard and ticketing arrangements.
With the October 1 bout approaching, attention will now turn to whether the heated exchanges between Phyna and Nkechi Blessing will translate into their performances when they meet inside the ring.
