Phyna made her position clear in no uncertain terms.In a video that circulated online, the reality star dismissed the suggestion with humour, saying:”Somebody said I should go and fight DJ Dimple. So you guys want her to send me to 6 feet? I’m not risking my life fighting a professional boxer like DJ Dimple. Give me Jarvis; she’s the one I want to fight.”Phyna’s counter-proposal centres on Jarvis as her preferred next opponent, doubling down on her desire to face someone she clearly believes is within the right range of challenge for her.Her rejection of the DJ Dimple matchup was laced with comedy, framing the DJ as far too dangerous rather than dismissing her altogether.The post-fight period has seen Phyna at the centre of growing celebrity boxing chatter in Nigeria, with DeeOne’s intervention adding another voice to the debate over who she should face next.Watch Phyna’s response to suggestions that she fights DJ Dimple in the X video below:Phyna celebrates boxing victoryEarlier, Legit.ng reported that Big Brother Naija Level Up winner Phyna defeated Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday in their boxing showdown at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos.Phyna won a brand-new car and a N50 million cash prize before celebrating the victory with photos of her championship belt on Instagram.She dedicated the win to women everywhere and noted that October 2 also marks the anniversary of her BBNaija victory.
