In a riveting contest, Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus popualry known as Portable, emerged victorious in the fourth round, of the celebrity boxing fight against Nollywood actor Charles Okocha on Wednesday.
VerseNews gathered that the fight, which was sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment, held at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State, kickstarted past 1 am and lasted for about 40 minutes.
The pair had finally settled their scores with their fists after Portable alleged contractual issues, which led them to engage in an online feud over an alleged N40m rip-off.
Portable claimed Okocha cheated him out of the money, only sending him a small amount, contrary to a contractual agreement.
To resolve their issues, they have consequently decided to fight on Boxing Day, with Heritage Boxing Entertainment serving as the sanctioning organization.

Portable pledged to win the boxing match at the meeting. He said, “The belt is mine, I am the owner, and I will beat him. This is not about English, I will use my punch to beat you.
“I am going to take this belt on the 26th and I will take it to Sango and show everyone at home. If you want to start it here, we will start it here, I am ready for you.”.
When the boxing match was analysed, it was evident that Portable was winning because he was able to withstand the more potent blows that Charles Okocha was throwing after each round.
