Music executive Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-Money, told Channels Television that boxing, once struggling for attention in Nigeria, now dominates the showbiz space as viral feuds on TikTok, Instagram and X move into sanctioned rings.

He issued an open challenge to potential rivals and said he is funding fight cards. Promoters have been quick to convert online arguments into ticketed bouts, a trend that has drawn both new audiences and criticism over safety standards.
