Akpi Rattled as Portable proves his strength beyond music. The Nigerian singer also known as Habeeb Okikiola, won a boxing match against him—Speed Darlington—during the “Chaos In The Ring” event in Lagos, which was part of the Friday Fight Night series.
After a disagreement over show money, the beef between them quickly grew. Speed Darlington offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform, but Portable felt the amount was too small. In his usual boastful style, he even said he’d rather fight Anthony Joshua for ₦100 million.
At Balmoral on Saturday, when the match began, Portable looked more prepared. He came out strong and didn’t hold back. His performance surprised many, especially since he didn’t seem to take the fight seriously at first. Even though he later agreed to step into the ring, it seemed like he wasn’t sure he would win.
Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, tried to keep up. But Portable had the upper hand for most of the match. The crowd watched as Portable controlled the fight with quick punches. Akpi struggled to match his energy.
In the end, Portable was declared the winner. It wasn’t a close fight.
The event featured fighters from six different countries. Still, the most talked-about match was Portable vs. Akpi.
For many, the fight was unexpected. What started as a small money issue turned into a real boxing match.
Now, Akpi is taken by surprise as Portable dominates the ring, making people see the Zazu crooner as more than just a musician. He proved he can also hold his own in the ring.
The beef might be over, but the win gave Portable new bragging rights.
