Nollywood veteran Emmanuel Ehumadu, popularly known as Labista, has raised concerns over celebrity boxing matches.
His warning follows the latest edition of the Chaos in the Ring boxing franchise.
Reality TV star Phyna defeated actress Nkechi Blessing during the October 1, 2026, bout.
Phyna reportedly secured victory through a fourth-round knockout.
The match has since sparked conversations about the safety of celebrities entering boxing competitions.
Nkechi Blessing later revealed that she trained for only two days before the fight.
Her disclosure appears to have increased concerns about preparation for celebrity boxing events.
Labista has now urged organisers to give contestants enough time to prepare before entering the ring.
The actor believes celebrities should not be allowed to compete if they are not physically ready.
He specifically raised the issue with Balmoral Promotions, which organises the Chaos in the Ring franchise.
According to Labista, proper preparation could help reduce the risk of serious incidents during future bouts.
His concern comes as celebrity boxing continues to attract attention from entertainment and sports fans.
