Controversial street singer Portable has opened up on his fight with actor Charles Okocha.
On Friday, Charles Okocha won over Portable at their boxing rematch at the Lagos Balmoral Convention Centre. Portable went against the rules of wrestling, taking punches instead of takedowns, and walked out of the ring, earning him a disqualification and making Charles the winner.
Speaking out, in a video he shared on his Instagram page, he claimed that the actor bit him on his back and locked his neck tightly during the match. He noted that he is a star and shouldn’t be engaging in such a match.
Portable also noted how their match is a celebrity fight and not a street fight. He also pointed out that the organisers promised to take him to London for training, but only took Charles.
“The reason I stopped fighting was that Charles Okocha bit me. He locked my neck tightly during the boxing match. It’s a celebrity fight, not a street fight. They promised to take me to London for training, but they took Charles Okocha”.
Portable’s management released a statement apologising to the organisers of the boxing match and asking that Portable’s decision and perspective be respected.
His management took full responsibility for the disappointment and expressed gratitude for the unwavering love and support shown to him throughout his journey.
