How Charles Okocha Defeated Portable In Boxing Rematch

. Details of the much-anticipated bout that ended after the first round

Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has defeated street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, in a dramatic celebrity boxing rematch that ended abruptly after the opening round in Lagos.

The much-anticipated bout, tagged “Unfinished Business”, was held on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, as part of the Chaos in the Ring franchise.

The contest quickly descended into chaos after both men exchanged punches before Portable grabbed Okocha and took him to the canvas.

The referee intervened to separate the pair, while security personnel and bouncers also entered the ring as tensions escalated.

After the fighters were separated and the first round ended, Portable walked out of the ring, leaving the arena as sections of the crowd booed his exit.

He later returned to the ring and appeared to argue that taking Okocha down meant he had won the contest.

Officials, however, ruled that Portable had abandoned the bout and declared Okocha the winner.

“We do have a decision. And due to the fact that Portable abandoned the ring after the first round, we have a winner, Mr. Algorithm, Charles,” the host announced.

The abrupt ending meant there was no conventional round-by-round scoring.

Portable was later seen arguing with members of his corner, insisting that Okocha had not fought fairly.
