Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are set to clash in a celebrity boxing match on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos.
The feud between the two began in March when Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his upcoming show.
Portable, deeming the offer insulting, called Darlington “poor” and claimed he charges N20 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 N20 million, ask around. I don’t know that you are poor. I don’t want to be friends with poor people”.
Darlington expressed regret for inviting Portable, saying, “I regret it because why the insults?”
In response, Portable challenged Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he had done to popular actor Charles Okocha.
Following public demand, the match has now been officially arranged by the organizer.
