Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match.
The match will be held on April 18 2025, at Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos state.
Urban Express News Online recalls 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 to 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 the netizens’ demand with the organiser.
Announcing the fight on Instagram, the organizer, Mygamerush, wrote, “You asked and now it is here. Two street kings’ battle for ultimate street supremacy.
