Speed Darlington calls for rematch after celebrity boxing bout lôss to street singer Portable

Controversial musician Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington, is demanding a rematch following his loss to fellow artist Badmus Okikiola, popularly known as Portable.

The two clashed in a heated celebrity boxing match dubbed Chaos In The Ring, on Saturday morning at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos.

Speed Darlington was knocked out in the second round by Portable, marking a decisive victory for the street-pop singer.

Their rivalry intensified after Speed Darlington reportedly offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform at an event, a gesture Portable took as an insult.

In a video posted later on Saturday evening, Speed Darlington voiced his frustration over the outcome, claiming Portable didn’t deserve the win or the prize money.

He added that he had plans to use the money to construct a swimming pool for his community back in Imo State.

“Portable, I want a rematch. E dey pain me say you dey carry all that money dey go. E dey break my heart. I want a rematch. “

“It’s so unfair. You have up to two experience before me and you fight. I never enter ring before. I did not come from poverty,” he said.

“You don’t deserve that money. E dey pain me. I want to build swimming pool for my villagers. I need a rematch, Portable,” Speed Darlington added, saying he needed at least 30 days to prepare better.

He also backed down on accusation that Portable resorted to voodoo to gain an unfair advantage in the fight.

Previously, Speed Darlington alleged that his shoulder was dislocated during the bout, insisting that the injury occurred despite him not feeling any signs of exhaustion. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
