Portable, Speed Darlington Set to Face Off in Celebrity Boxing Match
Nigerian musicians Portable and Speed Darlington are gearing up for a highly anticipated celebrity boxing match on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Center.
The feud between the two entertainers began when Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming show, offering him a fee of ₦500,000.
However, Portable found the offer insulting and declined, mocking Darlington for being “poor.”
“You are inviting me to a show, and you don’t have money. You are using my name to promote your show. I charge ₦20 million, ask around,” Portable said. “…You’re offering me ₦500k, for what? I don’t want to be friends with poor people. I didn’t know he is that poor.”
Darlington responded furiously, accusing Portable of insulting his mother. “Why did I bring myself low? Why did I contact Portable? I regret it because why the insults? Why did my mother get into the discussion?” he said.
Portable then challenged Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he did to actor Charles Okocha. “I want to fight you. We should both be put in a boxing ring. I will defeat you like I defeated Okocha,” he bragged.
The organizer of the event, Mygamerush, announced the boxing match on Instagram, saying, “You asked and now it is here. Two street king’s battle for ultimate street supremacy.”
While Portable has not responded to the challenge, Darlington has been preparing for the fight, showing off his personal trainer ahead of the battle day.
