Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus, aka Portable, defeated Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in a celebrity boxing match on Wednesday.
The fight, which was sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment and held at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State, began shortly after 1 a.m. and lasted approximately 40 minutes.
After Portable claimed contractual issues, the pair engaged in an online feud over an alleged N40m rip-off.
Portable claimed Okocha defrauded him by only sending him a small amount, in violation of a contractual agreement.
According to The Punch report, Portable started Round One with confidence and took an early lead.
He was dressed in blue knickers and a blue armless top.
He also took full control of the ring and looked to find his range from several jabs to the body of Okocha, who was dressed in a red top and red shorts.
In Round Two, Okocha was back in the game as he had been avoiding blows from Portable, and everything seemed to be in his favour.
Okocha gained more ground than Portable did throughout the fight, and despite being in the lead, he was determined to score more points.
His jabs even knocked Portable down, necessitating the intervention of the referee.
Portable was running around the ring in Round Three, trying to get back into the game, and Okocha was following him around.
Portable took advantage of some opportunities to retaliate for the blows he was taking in round two.
In Round Four, the two celebrity boxers were tired, but Portable was still throwing some direct punches, which caught Okocha unaware.
Meanwhile, when the referee called for Round Five to decide the winner, both of them declined to continue and this led to the eventual announcement of Portable as the winner.
