Portable and Okocha Set for Celebrity Boxing Rematch

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, is set to face Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in a celebrity boxing rematch on July 31, 2026. The bout will take place at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos, and is part of the “Chaos in the Ring” card, tagged “Unfinished Business.” This rematch follows Portable's victory over Okocha by unanimous decision in their first encounter, which led Okocha to exercise a rematch clause.

Tensions escalated during the pre-fight face-off in Lagos, where both entertainers exchanged insults and mock punches before security intervened. Portable has expressed confidence in his preparation and ability to win again, while Okocha has dismissed Portable's verbal jabs, advising him to conserve energy for the fight.

The event will be streamed live for fans unable to attend in person.
