Carter Efe and Speed Darlington Set for Boxing Match

Nigerian rapper and social media personality Speed Darlington has issued a warning to comedian and content creator Carter Efe ahead of their celebrity boxing match scheduled for October 1, 2026. The fight will take place at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, as part of the ‘Chaos in the Ring’ series.

This bout marks Speed Darlington's second appearance in the celebrity boxing circuit after losing to singer Portable in 2025. In contrast, Carter Efe enters the ring following a victory over Portable by unanimous decision in May 2026, with all three judges scoring the match 30-27 in his favor.

The rivalry has intensified through promotional activities, culminating in a heated confrontation at their official press conference, necessitating intervention from security personnel. This match will be the first time the two entertainers meet in the boxing ring after their exchanges primarily occurred on social media and during promotional events.

The event will also feature other bouts, including the WBO African Light Heavyweight Continental Championship clash.
