Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Badmus Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, defeated rapper Speed Darlington, real name Darlington Okoye, in a celebrity fight tagged Chaos in the Ring: Battle for Glory.
The fight, held at the Balmoral Events Centre in Lagos in the early hours of Saturday, saw Portable dominate Speedy from start to finish, winning by technical knockout.
Portable showed incredible boxing skills, landing more clean shots as both fighters hurl fists at one another.
The fight ended at the end of the first round when the referee called the fight in favour of Portable on technical knockout, with Speedy looking like he sustained an injury and couldn’t continue.
In the buildup to the fight, Speedy showed he was confident of a win with the purchase of a coffin, saying he planned to carry Portable in it after beating him up.
It, however, turned out that Speedy wasn’t up to speed on the day of the fight, as he succumbed to heavy blows from Portable.
Recall that in 2023, Portable defeated comedian Charles Okocha in his first celebrity fight.
The singer was declared the winner in the fourth round after both fighters refused to return for the fifth round, prompting the referee to call the fight in Portable’s favour.

The fight, sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment, was arranged for the pair to finally settle their scores with their fists after Portable alleged that he was cheated out of N40 million by Okocha over a contractual agreement.
