Portable Victorious over Speed Darlington in Boxing Duel

Controversial singer, Badmus Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has emerged victorious in the highly anticipated boxing match against his rival, Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington.

The fight, tagged ‘Chaos in the Rings,’ took place at the Balmoral Events Centre in Lagos on Saturday morning and ended with Portable winning Speed Darlington by technical knockout.

According to eyewitnesses, the two celebrities went head-to-head in the ring, exchanging blows and displaying their boxing skills. However, it was Portable who ultimately emerged victorious, leaving Speed Darlington with an injured right wrist. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as the two rivals clashed in the ring, with many taking to social media to express their shock and excitement at the outcome.

The event was highly anticipated, with many fans eager to see the two celebrities settle their long-standing feud in the ring.

The rivalry between Portable and Speed Darlington began when Speed Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his event, a gesture that Portable found insulting.

While some have praised Portable and Speed Darlington for settling their differences in the ring, others have expressed concern about the potential consequences of such a violent and public display.
