Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match.
The match will take place on April 18, 2025, at Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos.
The feud between the two started in March when Darlington offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform at his upcoming show. Portable, who found the amount insulting, called Darlington “poor” and claimed he charges ₦20 million per performance.
“You are inviting me for a show, and you don’t have money. You use my name to promote your show. I charge ₦20 million, ask around. I don’t know that you are poor. I don’t want to be friends with poor people,” Portable said.
In response, Darlington expressed regret for inviting Portable, saying, “I regret it because why the insults?”
Portable then challenged Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he did to popular actor Charles Okocha.
Following public demand, the match has now been arranged.
Announcing the fight on Instagram, the organizer, Mygamerush, wrote: “You asked, and now it is here. Two street kings battle for ultimate street supremacy.”
