PORTABLE, SPEED DARLINGTON SET TO SQUARE OFF IN CELEBRITY BOXING MATCH ON APRIL 18
Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are set to square off in a celebrity boxing match.
The event will take place on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos State.
The rivalry between the two began in March when Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his upcoming show.
Portable, who described the amount as ridiculous, tagged Darlington “poor”. Noting that he charges N20 million for performance.
“You are inviting me for a show, and you don’t have money. You use my name to promote your show. I charge N20 million, ask around. I don’t know that you are poor. I don’t want to be friends with poor people”.
In his response, Darlington expressed regret for inviting Portable. He said “I regret it because why the insults?”
Portable responded by challenging Darlington to a fight, claiming he would defeat him just as he did with popular actor Charles Okocha.
The match has now been scheduled following public demand, according to the event organizer.
Announcing the fight on Instagram, the organizer, Mygamerush, wrote: “You asked, and now it’s here. Two street kings battle for ultimate street supremacy.”
In December 2023, Portable triumphed over actor Okocha in a celebrity boxing match.
