Street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has alleged that actor Charles Okocha bit him during their celebrity boxing rematch in Lagos, saying the incident prompted him to leave the ring before the contest ended.
Portable made the allegation in a series of posts on his official Instagram account shortly after he was disqualified, and Okocha declared the winner of the bout at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Friday.
The rematch, promoted as “Unfinished Business” under the Chaos in the Ring celebrity boxing event, descended into chaos during the opening round as both entertainers exchanged punches before grappling and falling to the canvas.
Portable subsequently left the ring. Although he later returned, the referee ruled that he had abandoned the contest and disqualified him, handing victory to Okocha.
The contest was organised to settle a long-running rivalry between the two entertainers, which dates back to their first celebrity boxing bout in December 2023. Portable was declared the winner of that encounter, but Okocha disputed the result and repeatedly called for a rematch.
