In a thrilling encounter at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, social media comedian Carter Efe has emerged victorious over the flamboyant Habeeb โPortableโ Badmus in their much-anticipated celebrity boxing match. The Chaos in the Ring 4 event saw Efe outclass Portable over three rounds, clinching the title by a unanimous decision that stripped Portable of his celebrity boxing king status.
Portable, known for his aggressive and often unpredictable style, entered the ring with confidence, aiming to secure his third belt. He had previously defeated Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington, boasting of his ability to overcome larger opponents. "I will use you to collect my third belt. Charles Okocha was bigger than you, Speed Darlington was bigger than you, and I beat them. I will beat you now," Portable had declared ahead of the bout.
I will use you to collect my third belt. Charles Okocha was bigger than you, Speed Darlington was bigger than you, and I beat them. I will beat you now.
However, Efe, undeterred by Portable's bravado, proved to be the more strategic fighter. While Portable launched wild, erratic punches in his signature fashion, Efe absorbed the pressure and effectively countered with crisp uppercuts and body blows. Despite Portable's continued aggression and clinching in subsequent rounds, Efe's precision and cleaner combinations consistently found their mark, ultimately securing him the championship and a decisive victory.
One punch and you fall.
