Boxing match: “Pick a date,” Tiwa Savage tells Teni

Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, told fellow singer Teniola Apata, aka Teni, to “pick a date” after Teni called her for a boxing match.

Teni launched the challenge in a video posted on her official Instagram account @tenientertainer.

In the post, Teni tagged Tiwa Savage and wrote, “MAMA!!! let me fight @tiwasavage 3 billion later, I’m going to apologize for being out of the ring.”

The “Somebody’s Son” singer responded in the comments section with three words: “Pick a date.”

Teni made the challenge while discussing the earnings of Nigerian artists and the expensive cars owned by some artists.

He proposed a purse of ₦1.5 billion for the bout and joked about fighting Savage before singing “My Darling” for her afterwards.

The exchange comes days after reality star Phyna knocked out actress Nkechi Blessing in a celebrity boxing match in Lagos.

The fight, held on October 1, was part of Balmoral Group Promotions’ “Chaos in the Ring” series.

Phyna won the scheduled four-round contest by knockout, while skit creator Carter Efe defeated rapper Speed ​​Darlington in another celebrity bout at the event.

The series has previously featured the likes of Portable, Charles Okocha, Speed ​​Darlington and Carter Efe in celebrity boxing matches.

Carter Efe previously defeated singer Portable by unanimous decision in a three-round bout at the same venue in May.

No promoter, formal agreement or date has been announced for a proposed Teni-Savage bout.

Teni is known for songs including “Fargin” and “Askamaya,” while Savage has recorded hits including “Somebody’s Son.”
