Street singer, Habeeb Okikiola better known as Portable, has broken his silence after defeating actor, Charles Okocha in a celebrity boxing match.
We reported that the two stars had clashed online after Portable accused Charles of swindling him. According to Portable, Okocha pocketed a whopping 40 million Naira from some promoters for a show in Desmond, Abuja.
Portable claimed he ended up with a mere 5 million Naira from Okocha. Feeling shortchanged, Portable called Okocha out, labeling him a thief for not sharing the money fairly.
In response, Okocha claimed to be the mastermind behind the deal and simply invited Portable as a guest, explaining that he even flew Portable from Lagos to Abuja for the event.
Regarding the payment, Okocha stated he had no formal agreement with Portable, so he paid him what he thought was reasonable – 5 million Naira.
However, Portable who disagreed with his statement, challenged Okocha to a face-off in Lagos.
On Tuesday night, the superstars settled their differences in a boxing match at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State. The fight which was sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment and was a Boxing Day event, started around 1 am and lasted for about 40 minutes.
