Controversial Nigerian musicians, Portable and Speed Darlington are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match in April.
The encounter is scheduled to be held on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos State.
According to DAILY POST, the fight between the two musicians ensued in March after Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his forthcoming show.
Portable, described the amount as ridiculous, 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,” he stated.
Darlington expressed regret over the development, describing Portable’s action as an insult.
Portable replied by challenging Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he did to popular actor, Charles Okocha.
The boxing match has finally been arranged following netizens demand, with the organiser.
