Portable Blames Gambling Losses for Defeat to Carter Efe

Portable has blamed his defeat to Carter Efe in a boxing match held in Lagos on substantial gambling losses, claiming that he could not be paid the N23 billion wagered. He insists that the stoppage of the fight was unjustified and compares the conditions to previous bouts.
The judges scored the match unanimously in favor of Efe, ending Portable's reign as a champion. Following the fight, Dr. Arinz Onwumelu, a Canada-based Nigerian doctor, has urged Portable to undergo a brain scan due to concerns about potential internal damage from punches delivered by Efe.
Onwumelu warned that the strikes may have affected sensitive areas of Portable's head and advised an MRI to rule out subdural hematoma. Despite the defeat, Portable's personal life has seen a positive turn with the birth of his son, which he noted puts everything into perspective.
