Main Event: Portable vs Charles Okocha
Celebrity boxer and singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, will renew his rivalry with Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in the headline bout of Chaos In The Ring 2026. The fight takes place in Lagos on Friday, July 31, starting at 6 p.m.
Portable enters the ring confident after training under coach Taiwo Esepo Agbaje. Okocha, meanwhile, insists the outcome will be decided inside the ropes, not through pre‑fight trash talk.
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. As I’ve always said, Portable is removable.”
The actor revealed he prepared in the United Kingdom, working with top fighters to sharpen his skills for future challenges.
“I trained with some of the best to gain experience for bigger fights ahead,” Okocha explained. “Honestly, I don’t even need to train specifically to beat Portable; the work was about preparing for the next level.”

Antwi said his sole focus is securing victory. Jafaru, known for his restrained demeanor, responded, “I respect every opponent I face. I’ve fought many good boxers throughout my career, and I respect Samuel as well. We’ll settle everything in the ring.”
When asked if he believes he can defeat Antwi, Jafaru replied, “I’m here to win. That’s all I can say. On Friday night, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”
Antwi acknowledged the challenge but remained focused: “I respect him, but once we’re inside the ring it’s business. I never predict knockouts because anything can happen in boxing. My only goal is victory.”
