"Celebrity Boxing Is the Next Big Thing In Entertainment" — E-Money

Music executive and businessman Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, has declared that celebrity boxing is taking over the entertainment industry.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday, the businessman noted that the sport, which was previously ignored in Nigeria, has now captured the attention of the masses.

E-Money, one of the figures behind the Chaos in the Ring celebrity boxing series, revealed that he became deeply interested in the sport after being brought on board.

According to him, the series is the next big thing in entertainment, with a new fight scheduled for December that will feature top-tier celebrities.

The businessman hinted at the upcoming event but stated that Balmoral Entertainment holds the right to announce the names of the participants.

E-Money also expressed his personal desire to step into the ring, challenging anyone who matches his calibre to come forward for a match.

He said:
"It is actually taking over the entertainment space. 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."

"The next fight is coming up next month in December, and it involves top-tier celebrities."

"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."

"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."

Celebrity boxing matches have become highly popular among celebrities and internet personalities. The trend has attracted prominent figures including Portable, Speed Darlington, Charles Okocha, Carter Efe, Nkechi Blessing, Phyna, amongst others.
