Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has revealed the strategy she employed to knock out Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday during their celebrity boxing match in Lagos.

Phyna defeated Nkechi Blessing in the first female celebrity boxing bout at the Chaos in the Ring event held on October 1, 2026.

Speaking in an interview with comedian Egungun, shared in a video on Saturday, the reality TV star said she relied on strategy and careful observation rather than physical strength to overcome her opponent.

According to Phyna, she noticed that Nkechi was physically bigger than her and decided against engaging the actress in a direct contest of strength.

The BBNaija winner disclosed that she trained for only 10 days before the fight, crediting her coach with helping her develop the necessary boxing skills within the short preparation period.

She added that the observation influenced her decision to change her approach and follow her coach’s instructions to keep moving around the ring.

Phyna further disclosed that she had promised to make the actress move around the ring during the contest, saying she was enjoying the fight before it ended earlier than she expected.

Asked whether she would consider fighting the actress again, Phyna said there was no need for another encounter, adding that she did not want to disrespect her opponent.

The reality star, however, mentioned former BBNaija housemate Wathoni Anyansi and actress Etinosa Idemudia as celebrities she could consider facing in another boxing contest.

She jokingly suggested that she could take on Etinosa in a one-on-one fight.Meanwhile, Nkechi Blessing has expressed her intention to return to acting following her defeat, maintaining that she is not a professional boxer.

Phyna’s victory has continued to attract reactions from entertainers and fans, with some praising her performance and determination in the ring.
