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.

According to reports, the entertainer shared his views during a TikTok livestream, where he argued that inter-ethnic relationships could provide a different experience and expose couples to new cultural perspectives.

Speaking during the livestream, he said people from the same ethnic group often share similar cultural experiences, beliefs and ways of thinking.

“If you are a Yoruba and want to marry a Yoruba in 2026, bro, your life is finish. And if you are Igbo, you want to marry Igbo, your life is finish,” Peller said.

He further argued that marrying someone from a different ethnic group could introduce a person to new perspectives and experiences.

“Wetin me, I be Yoruba, you be Yoruba. Wetin I know for Yoruba, you know am. And I go just let you know, bro, where I get sense reach for Yoruba, you get sense reach there. You fit even do pass me,” he stated.

The streamer also revealed his preference for a partner from Benin, insisting that he would not choose to marry a Yoruba woman despite being Yoruba himself.

“Me, wey go marry my Benin girl, na no know say I get wetin I dey think. I no fit marry my Yoruba girl, God forbid,” he added.

Peller maintained that his position would remain unchanged even if he were offered an incentive to marry within his ethnic group.

“If dem tell us say I pay now, you can plus one, bro, I no go still even marry my Yoruba girl. Na fact I dey tell you,” he said.

Reflecting on his family background, the streamer noted that both his parents are Yoruba, adding that his personal experiences had influenced his views on marrying outside one’s ethnic group.

“My daddy is a Yoruba, my mommy is a Yoruba. See my life outside o,” Peller remarked.
