In a much-anticipated clash, controversial singer Habeeb “Portable” Okikiola emerged victorious in a celebrity boxing match against Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha.
The intense showdown unfolded at Landmark Beach in Lagos state on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, captivating fans who filled the venue with cheers.
Dressed in blue boxing gear and representing the blue corner, Portable unleashed a relentless barrage of jabs and punches against Okocha, who valiantly tried to dodge the onslaught. Despite a momentary setback where Okocha managed to throw Portable off, the singer quickly recovered and continued his offensive strategy.
The thrilling match lasted about 40 minutes and spanned four solid rounds, with the referee stepping in at intervals to maintain fairness. The climax came as Portable’s signature slang, “Wahala, Wahala, Wahala,” echoed through the crowd in anticipation of his impending victory.
NEWSTODAYNG recalls that Portable accused Okocha of cheating him out of a ₦40 million deal for a performance and Okocha countered, stating that no binding agreements were in place and that Portable’s performance fell short of expectations, leading to a ₦5 million settlement.
After a close deliberation, the host declared Portable the winner, prompting cheers and flickering lights in the venue. The Zazu singer, overwhelmed with gratitude, knelt in acknowledgment of his triumph. In a display of sportsmanship, Okocha offered a firm handshake and a smile to his adversary.
