Portable made the challenge on Sunday during an appearance on Channels

previous bouts.
He also said that he was looking ahead to his
scheduled July 31 rematch with actor Charles Okocha in Lagos and expressed
confidence that the contest would attract a large audience.

embarking on a tour of the United States, Russia, Malaysia, Dubai and South
Africa,” he added. (NAN)
Portable
famously defeated Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in a widely publicized
40-minute bout at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos. Following that
unanimous decision loss, Okocha activated a rematch clause, which has been scheduled
to take place in Lagos.
Portable
has also stepped into the ring with several other public figures, recording a
knockout victory over singer Speed Darlington and defeating Kizz Daniel’s
bodyguard, Kelvin "Power" Atobiloye.
He
however suffered the first official defeat of his celebrity boxing career in
May 2026, dropping a unanimous decision to content creator Carter Efe in the
"Chaos in the Ring" event, where Efe was awarded the championship.
