Portable and actor Charles Okocha are preparing for a celebrity boxing rematch on July 31 at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Balmoral Promotions announced the fight, promoted as “Unfinished Business,” on Instagram.

The promoters said the event will also feature the Agbaje vs Musa contest, describing it as a night for four fighters to settle scores in the ring.

“Africa, the stage is set. Now, we settle the score. Portable. Charles Okocha. Agbaje. Musa. Four fighters. One ring. No more talk,” the post read.

The rematch comes after Portable’s first loss in celebrity boxing.

At Chaos in the Ring 4, held at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, streamer Carter Efe defeated him via a 30-27 unanimous decision across three rounds, ending Portable’s unbeaten run and taking his title.

Before that defeat, Portable had built a record in the sport with victories over Okocha and Speed Darlington, earning him two celebrity boxing belts.

Portable and Okocha’s rivalry started in 2023 after Portable accused the actor of cheating him out of about N40m in a business deal.

The dispute moved from social media to the ring at Landmark Beach, Victoria Island.

Portable won that initial contest after four rounds, controlling the first round with aggressive jabs, while Okocha found success in the second.

Both fighters appeared exhausted by the fourth, declined to continue, and Portable was awarded the championship belt.

Okocha rejected the outcome and has consistently demanded a rematch, arguing that the result did not reflect the fight.

The July 31 encounter gives Okocha the opportunity to settle the dispute in the ring, while Portable will look to recover from his loss to Carter Efe and reclaim his standing In celebrity boxing. (The Nation)
