Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus, widely known as Portable, emerged victorious in the celebrity boxing match against Nollywood actor Charles Okocha after the fourth round, as announced on Wednesday.The sanctioned event by Heritage Boxing Entertainment took place at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State. Starting at 1 am, the intense fight lasted approximately 40 minutes, settling the discord between the two personalities.The feud stemmed from alleged contractual discrepancies, where Portable accused Okocha of a supposed N40 million swindle, claiming Okocha only remitted a fraction of the agreed-upon sum.In the opening round, Portable took an early lead, dominating the ring with confident moves, sporting a blue outfit while Okocha donned red attire.However, Okocha rallied in Round Two, dodging Portable’s attacks and gaining ground, even managing to bring Portable down momentarily, prompting the referee’s intervention.Round Three saw Portable maneuvering the ring, seeking to counter Okocha’s assaults, while in Round Four, despite fatigue, Portable surprised Okocha with direct punches.Ultimately, when Round Five was proposed to determine the winner, both fighters declined to continue, leading to Portable’s declaration as the winner, solidifying his victory despite not achieving a TKO, KO, or points-based win.Portable’s triumph not only earned him the belt but also reinforced his standing as the deserving champion in this hard-fought battle.
