Akon has signaled interest in entering the celebrity boxing scene, declaring his readiness for a match in a recent interview on The Untold. The 52-year-old, renowned for chart-toppers like “Locked Up” and “Smack That,” confirmed he would gladly step into the ring.
“I’ll do it in my sleep,” Akon said. “Please, invite me in the ring.”
He did not name a specific opponent but emphasized he is open to facing anyone—from rappers to comedians, even athletes—provided they harbor genuine dislike toward him. “Everybody has a hater,” he noted. “He’s probably just waiting for the right opportunity.”
Akon’s remarks come at a peak in celebrity boxing’s popularity, where digital influencers and music stars alike challenge rivals to public bouts. These matches often play out as spectacles, blurring entertainment and sport.
Known equally for his musical innovation and business endeavors, Akon has weathered public disputes and industry controversies. Now, he appears drawn to settling tensions in a physical arena, complete with gloves, referees, and cameras.
Though some may view his proposal as mere showmanship, celebrity boxing has proven lucrative. Fighters like Jake Paul and Blueface have successfully parlayed fame into high-profile matches. With this in mind, Akon’s interest feels timely—even strategic.
Akon’s call to action could catch the ear of Celebrity Boxing’s Damon Feldman or other promoters. The music veteran’s reputation for creating media moments suggests he understands the attention a public feud can generate.
While speculation swirls around who might take him on—and whether any promoters will accept—Akon has made his intentions clear. He’s prepared to transform personal conflict into a ticketed event under the spotlight.
In a media landscape driven by spectacle, Akon’s readiness to throw down speaks to fame’s evolving nature. Music legend. Business mogul. Potential pugilist.
He’s waiting for someone willing to meet him in the ring.
