Portable Refused Okocha’s Rematch 

Portable Refused Okocha’s Rematch 

Portable, a Nigerian street-pop artist, is refusing to grant Nollywood actor Charles Okocha a rematch and hand over the belt.

This comes after Portable defeated Okocha in a Heritage Boxing Entertainment celebrity bout, with the referee declaring Portable as the winner after four rounds of action.

Okocha claims that the match was rigged, citing Portable’s removal of his boxing gloves in the third round, which should have led to disqualification.

The feud between the two initially began over an alleged N40m rip-off, where Portable accused Okocha of cheating him out of money.

In the aftermath of the bout, Okocha took to his Instagram page to call out the referee for irregularities, alleging that Portable removed his boxing gloves during the third round, which should have resulted in immediate disqualification.

“How can you give up in the third round when we have four rounds? How do you take off your gloves in the third round, leading to total disqualification when the fight hasn’t ended?

“Y’all know this was rigged, with an incompetent referee who knows nothing about boxing rules. Nevertheless, we move on. Rematch coming soon,” he wrote.

In response to Okocha’s calls for a rematch, Portable has released videos indicating his reluctance to fight Okocha and suggesting that Okocha should seek out renowned boxer Anthony Joshua instead.

“You want another beating? You that weigh more than I do, I beat you and collected money and belt. First round I beat you, second round I beat you, third round and fourth round, I beat you. Go and fight another person, if you want to fight, go and call Anothy Joshua, I am not dropping this belt,” Portable said.
