LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Paulo Okoye, the partner of Iyabo Ojo, has proposed a boxing match between the actress and Lizzy Anjorin, her colleague.
The two actresses have been embroiled in social media drama in recent months.
Anjorin conducted a series of Instagram live sessions recently where she indirectly called Ojo names.
Ojo, however, fired back by threatening to sue her colleague for N500 million.
To resolve the conflict, Paulo suggested a boxing match with a N10 million prize for the winner.
He also assured the provision of an ambulance and medical staff for the event.
“Lizzy Anjorin Vs Iyabo Ojo. Winner takes all!!! 10 million Naira,” he wrote.
“Ambulance and Doctors provided. Organised by PaulO & OneAfricaGlobal.”
This comes on the heels of the just concluded boxing match between Portable and Charles Okocha, which the singer eventually won.
Okocha, however, asked for a rematch, arguing that the bout was “rigged”.
Paulo is the founder of Upfront & Personal Global Management, a talent management company.
He is the convener of One Africa Fest, the annual festival that celebrates talents across Africa.
Paulo and Ojo’s relationship became public in December 2022.
