Portable and Charles Okocha Trade Insults Ahead of Celebrity Boxing Rematch in Lagos
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha have reignited their rivalry just days before their much‑anticipated celebrity boxing rematch in Lagos.
Videos captured at the pre‑fight face‑off quickly went viral, showing the two entertainers exchanging harsh words, throwing mock punches, and standing toe‑to‑toe. A moderator stepped in several times to calm the rising tension and steer the focus back to the upcoming bout.
Portable entered the encounter brimming with confidence, declaring that he had trained rigorously and was set to secure another victory over the actor.
“I’m the man… I go prepare, I don prepare, I go win again, I go fight again. I go beat Charles Okocha,” Portable shouted, further heating the atmosphere as he continued to taunt his opponent.
Okocha, refusing to be rattled, fired back, urging Portable to save his energy for the actual fight on the 31st and warning him not to disrespect him.
“So what are you talking about? Can you save that for the ring? Can you save that on the 31st? Don’t disrespect me! I’m not your mate. Don’t disrespect me,” Okocha retorted.
The heated exchange sparked excitement among fans who witnessed the scene live and those who later viewed the clips online. The upcoming match follows Portable’s unanimous‑decision win in their first celebrity boxing encounter several months earlier.
After that defeat, Okocha activated the rematch clause, paving the way for this second showdown. The latest face‑off has added extra drama to an already highly anticipated contest, with both stars determined to settle their rivalry inside the ring.
