Okocha gets revenge over Portable in chaotic boxing rematch
Nollywood actor Charles Okocha got revenge over street-hop singer Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, after defeating the ‘Zazu’ crooner in the latest edition of the Chaotic in the Ring franchise.
The fight, which marked the second time that both celebrities will be facing each other at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, ended abruptly.
The much-anticipated encounter degenerated into chaos in the first round of the fight on Friday when both opponents launched a series of punches at each other before Portable bundled Okocha on the canvas.
Portable’s action forced the referee to separate the pair, with security personnel also joining the fray to calm frayed nerves as tensions escalated in the ring.

In his characteristic manner, Portable left the ring to loud boos from the fans after both fighters were separated and later returned, arguing that he had won the fight after taking down Okocha.
Unfortunately for him, the match officials ruled against him for abandoning the boxing encounter and declared Charles Okocha the winner of the boxing bout.
“We do have a decision. And due to the fact that Portable abandoned the ring after the first round, we have a winner, Mr Algorithm, Charles,” the host announced.
Portable, who did not agree with the decision of the officials, was later seen arguing with his crew members, insisting that his opponent did not fight fairly and squarely.
