Portable and Speed Darlington Set for Celebrity Boxing Match on April 18

Controversial Nigerian musicians Speed Darlington and Portable are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match.

The match is scheduled for April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos State.

The rivalry between the two began in March when Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his upcoming show.

Portable, who found the offer ridiculous, mocked Darlington as “poor” and pointed out that he charges N20 million for a performance.

“You are inviting me for a show, and you don’t have money. You use my name to promote your show. I charge N20 million, ask around. I don’t know that you are poor. I don’t want to be friends with poor people”.

In his response, Darlington expressed regret for inviting Portable. He said “I regret it because why the insults?”

Portable responded by challenging Darlington to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him just as he did to popular actor Charles Okocha.

The match has now been officially arranged following demands from netizens, with the organizer stepping in to make it happen.
