Published

on

Nigerian singer Habeeb Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that his loss to Carter Efe at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event in Lagos was manipulated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Portable alleged that the fight was unfairly stopped to avoid what he described as massive payouts tied to bets reportedly placed on his victory.

The controversial entertainer lost the celebrity boxing contest by unanimous decision after all three judges scored the bout 27-30 in Carter Efe’s favour following three rounds.

reports that the defeat ended Portable’s unbeaten run in celebrity boxing, having previously recorded victories over Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington.

Reacting after the match, the ZaZoo crooner insisted that he was cheated and alleged that financial interests influenced the final result.

According to him, organisers could not afford to settle the enormous amount allegedly staked on him to win.

“It was cheating. They couldn’t pay the money, so they rigged it. We are the ones who won, so they ripped me. They couldn’t pay the ₦23 billion that people bet on me. If Portable wins, they can never pay the money,” he said.

Portable also argued that the fight was stopped too early and maintained that he should have been allowed to continue.

He compared the situation to his earlier celebrity boxing clash with actor Charles Okocha, saying he had been in similar physical condition before without the fight being called off.

“They should have let us keep fighting. They said I was panting, I did the same against Charles Okocha. All they should have done was pour water on me so I could go and beat him, but they said the fight was over,” he stated.

Beyond the outcome, Portable accused the event organisers of withholding what he claimed was his share of the streaming revenue generated from the fight.

He demanded payment of about ₦200 million, which he described as his rightful earnings from the broadcast proceeds.

“To the organisers, I want my stream money amounting to about N200 million. Just give me my money before I cause trouble,” he said.

The singer’s reaction has added further controversy to the aftermath of the celebrity bout, which attracted significant attention from fans.

Meanwhile, Canada-based Nigerian doctor Arinze Onwumelu, also known as Dr Zo, advised that Portable undergo medical evaluation, including a brain scan, following the punches he absorbed during the contest.

The doctor warned that some of the blows may have affected delicate areas and urged those close to the singer to ensure he receives proper medical checks.

He also called for improved safety measures in celebrity boxing, recommending that protective headgear be made mandatory.

Despite his complaints over the result and payment issues, Portable said the birth of his newborn son on the same night outweighed the disappointment of losing the boxing title.

According to him, becoming a father again was far more valuable than any championship belt.

“My wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. I value that more than a belt. You can buy the belt, but not my child,” he said.
