Chaos In The Ring 2026 Set for Lagos Showdown
Celebrity boxer and singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, will renew his rivalry with Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in the headline bout of the 2026 Chaos In The Ring event. The fight takes place in Lagos on Friday, July 31, starting at 6 p.m.
Portable Confident Ahead of Rematch
Portable enters the ring confident after training under coach Taiwo Esepo Agbaje. He believes his preparation will secure another victory, while Okocha insists the outcome will be decided inside the ring, not through pre‑fight talk.
When asked about an early finish, Okocha said, “If the chance comes in the first round, I’ll take it. If not, then the second round. Like I’ve always said, Portable is removable.” He added that he trained in the United Kingdom with top fighters to sharpen his skills for future challenges.
Idowest vs Mr Real:est and Mr Real Settle Their Differences
The card also features a celebrity contest between musicians Idowest and Mr Real, who will finally settle their months‑long public exchanges in the ring. The winners of both celebrity bouts will each receive an electric vehicle.
Professional Bouts Highlight International Talent
Away from the celebrity fights, British‑based Nigerian boxer Samuel Antwi returns home to face Tanzania’s Suleiman Jafaru in one of the evening’s leading professional matches. Antwi says his sole focus is victory, while Jafaru remains measured, stating he respects every opponent and will let the ring decide the outcome.
The professional lineup also includes WBO Africa champion Basit Adebayo versus Tanzania’s Said “Bulldog” Chino, a bout between Taiwo Esepo Agbaje and South Africa’s Ayabonga Sonjika, and several other contests featuring fighters from across the continent.
