Reality TV star Phyna has defeated actress Nkechi Blessing in a celebrity boxing bout, knocking her out in the fourth round to claim the championship belt and a brand new car.
The highly anticipated bout, held in Lagos in the early hours of Friday, October 2, was the climax of a heated build up between the two entertainers, whose rivalry had generated considerable attention on social media.
Phyna, who was the smaller and slimmer of the two fighters, relied on her speed and movement from the opening bell, throwing quick punches and moving around the ring to frustrate Nkechi Blessing.
Blessing responded aggressively in the second round, pressing forward and engaging Phyna in a series of heavy exchanges as both fighters traded punches.
The third round was more cautious, with neither fighter able to establish a decisive advantage. Both celebrities continued to exchange punches as the contest remained closely fought.
The turning point came in the fourth round when the two fighters engaged in another intense exchange.
