The headline celebrity rematch ended in high drama. Street-pop artist Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, was disqualified after exiting the ring before the first round concluded against actor Charles Okocha. The bout, billed as “Unfinished Business,” briefly descended into chaos following a wrestling exchange that required security intervention. Portable left the ring and, despite attempting a later return, officials ruled him out, awarding the win to Okocha. Prior to the fight, Portable had expressed his state of mind, stating, “I am not happy, but I want God to make me happy and my family.”
Before the controversial main event, Basit “Joker Boy” Adebayo delivered one of the night’s premier performances by stopping Said Mohamed Hassan in the second round. The Nigerian boxer dominated from the start, securing a clinical knockout. Reflecting on the win, Adebayo said, “First of all, I want to thank Allah. I didn’t know round two was the round. I promised him round five. I prepared for this fight, and I was determined to face off with him.” The boxer also voiced his future intentions, asserting, “I’m ready to be the face of Nigeria. I think I am currently the face of boxing in Nigeria.”
In other action, Yusuf Adeniji secured a unanimous decision victory over Rilwan Lawal in their super-featherweight clash. The judges scored the bout 79-72, 78-73, and 78-73, rewarding Adeniji for a composed and strategic performance.
A major upset occurred when Suleiman Jafaru scored a stunning knockout against former British super-welterweight champion Samuel Antwi. The victory earned Jafaru an immediate promotional deal with Balmoral Promotions and an electric car from an event sponsor.
Elsewhere on the card, Michael Babalola maintained his unblemished professional record with a unanimous decision win against Abidemi Rabiu, while Shiloh “Sugar Shy” Defreitas defeated Ghana’s Eric “Kojo” Quarm via unanimous decision in their welterweight bout.
In the evening’s other celebrity matchup, music artists Mr Real and Idowest battled to a five-round draw. Idowest contested the decision, arguing he did enough to win, prompting organizers to announce a rematch scheduled for October 1.
