Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has set social media abuzz after playfully challenging his colleague, Lateef Adedimeji, to a celebrity boxing match.
The actor made the call in a lighthearted post on his social media page, where he urged organisers of celebrity boxing events to stage a fight between him and Lateef for entertainment value.
According to him, the idea was meant to create excitement for fans, adding that both of them would deliver an entertaining experience if the match is organised.
“I feel like looking for trouble today and this week!!
All those people sponsoring boxing exhibition matches, this is for you!!
Can any of you organise a fight between Baba Ibeji and Baba Ibeta?
My guy and I will give you value for your money and a lifetime experience.
Fans and family, how Una see am.
I AND MY GUY ARE CAPABLE!!! @adedimejilateef @sososoberekon how far bro???!!!”
The post, which carried a joking tone, immediately gained attention across social media platforms, with fans and colleagues reacting with humour and curiosity.
Many Nollywood stars joined the conversation in the comment section, teasing the idea and adding their own playful takes on the proposed match.
Actress Bakare Zainab reacted jokingly, saying, “I no fit what. Make Baba Ibeta no quick cry sha.”
Another actress, Olayinka Solomon, also chimed in, writing, “Haaa, edakun I no dey oo.”
Meanwhile, actress Regina Chukwu appeared excited by the suggestion and simply commented, “Let’s go.”
The post has since gone viral, sparking debates among fans who found the idea both entertaining and unexpected.
While some social media users expressed interest in seeing the two actors face off in a celebrity boxing event, others viewed it as harmless banter between colleagues in the film industry.
Celebrity boxing events have gained popularity in recent years, often featuring entertainers, influencers, and public figures in exhibition-style matches designed for entertainment rather than professional competition.
Adeniyi Johnson’s playful challenge adds to the growing trend of Nigerian celebrities engaging in humorous online exchanges that quickly capture public attention.
So far, Lateef Adedimeji has not publicly responded to the challenge, leaving fans wondering whether the proposed “fight” will remain a joke or eventually be turned into an organised celebrity event.
