Carter Efe and Speed Darlington's Press Conference Erupts
A press conference for the "Chaos in the Ring" Independence Day card turned chaotic on September 30 at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton, Ikeja, Lagos, as skit maker Carter Efe and rapper Speed Darlington exchanged threats ahead of their fight scheduled for October 1. Efe questioned Darlington's decision to face him after Darlington's previous loss to Habeeb “Portable” Badmus, asserting, “You want to fight me when you could not beat Portable.” The confrontation escalated when Speed Darlington claimed Efe's championship belt was rightfully his.
The event also featured actress Nkechi Blessing warning her opponent Phyna, stating she was fully prepared for their bout. Dr Ezekiel Adamu, founder of Chaos in the Ring and Balmoral Group Promotions, remarked on the personal nature of the rivalries displayed, predicting a dramatic event.
The press conference included unexpected drama, such as firecrackers igniting a brief fire, which was quickly extinguished.
