CurrentReport Blog Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are gearing up for an intense celebrity boxing match on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos State. The highly anticipated fight comes after a heated dispute between the two stars that began in March, when Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his upcoming show.
Portable, unimpressed by the offer, called it “ridiculous” and tagged Darlington as “poor,” claiming he charges N20 million for performances. “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,” Portable stated.
Darlington, in response, expressed regret for inviting Portable, saying, “I regret it because why the insults?” However, Portable fired back by challenging Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he did with popular actor Charles Okocha in a celebrity boxing match in December 2023.
The match is set to take place following overwhelming demand from fans, with event organizers confirming the showdown. The event will see the two “street kings” battle for ultimate street supremacy.
Stay tuned for updates as the date approaches, and witness an unforgettable clash between two of Nigeria’s most controversial stars.
