Controversial Nigerian musicians, Speed Darlington and Portable are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match to settle their feud.
The match will be held on April 18, 2025, at Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos.
The fight between the duo started in March after Darlington offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his forthcoming show.
Portable, who described the amount as ridiculous, tagged Darlington “poor”. He stated how he charges N20 million for performance.
“You are inviting me for a show, and you don’t have money. You use my name to promote your show. I charge N20 million, ask around. I don’t know that you are poor. I don’t want to be friends with poor people”.

Portable’s comments included derogatory words and personal attacks. He claimed Brown’s life was “spoilt” and that he didn’t have a house to sleep in. He also referred to Brown as an “unfortunate being”.
James Brown fired back at the singer, referring to him as someone who doesn’t deserve to be famous.
