“Initially in Nigeria, nobody really paid attention to boxing; when you talked about the sport, people would just ignore it—including myself. But when they brought me on board, I got deeply interested. In fact, this is the next big thing in entertainment,” E-Money said. He also disclosed that another celebrity boxing event would take place in December, featuring some of the country’s top entertainers.
E-Money scolds Carter Efe for destroying gifted car “I am not in a position to reveal the names right now—I believe Balmoral Entertainment holds the right to announce that—but I am a massive supporter of boxing, and it is absolutely going to dominate”, he said. The businessman also said he’s interested in a celebrity boxing match and is challenging anyone willing to face him in the ring.
“Honestly speaking, I would love to step into the ring myself if I can find a worthy match. If you know anyone who matches my calibre, let me know and let them come forward. I am ready”, he added. Celebrity boxing has gained popularity in Nigeria, with entertainers and social media personalities turning public exchanges and online rivalries into organised boxing matches.
Notable bouts include comedian Carter Efe’s victories over singer Portable and social media personality Speed Darlington, as well as BBNaija winner Phyna’s fight against actress Nkechi Blessing.
