- +Portable, Charles Okocha Confirm July 31 For Boxing Rematch
Controversial singer Portable and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha are set to reignite their long-running feud in a celebrity boxing rematch scheduled for July 31 at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Controversial singer Portable and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha are set to reignite their long-running feud in a celebrity boxing rematch scheduled for July 31 at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The bout, themed “Unfinished Business,” comes three years after the pair first settled their dispute in the boxing ring, where Portable emerged victorious. Organisers announced the rematch on social media, promising another high-profile showdown.
“Here comes the chaos! Africa, the stage is set. Now we settle the score. Portable, Charles Okocha, Agbaje, Musa. Four fighters, one ring, no more talk. July 31st.”
The rivalry between the two entertainers dates back to 2023 after Portable accused Okocha of failing to pay him N20 million following an endorsement arrangement, sparking a heated exchange on social media.
Portable alleged that the actor withheld the agreed payment after the deal.
Okocha, however, rejected the allegation, saying Portable had initially approached him seeking friendship before he invited the singer to an event because he wanted to support him.
According to the actor, Portable failed to make any meaningful contribution at the event, and there was no formal agreement between them despite his decision to transfer N5 million to the singer afterward.
The disagreement eventually escalated into a celebrity boxing contest, with Portable defeating Okocha in their first encounter.
