Controversial Nigerian musicians, Speed Darlington and Portable are set to face off in celebrity boxing match.
The match will be held on April 18 2025, at Balmoral
Convention Centre in Lagos state.
Recall that the fight between the duo started in
March after Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his forthcoming
show.
Portable, who described the amount as ridiculous, tagged
Darlington “poor”. 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”.
In his response, Darlington expressed regret for inviting
Portable. He said “I regret it because why the insults?”
Portable replied by challenging Darlington to a fight,
boasting that he would defeat him just as he did to popular actor, Charles
Okocha.
The match has finally been arranged following netizens
demand, with the organiser.
