Portable Claims ₦40 Million Advance for Proposed go!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan, Editor-in-chief | Sele Media Africa
Controversial Nigerian street-hop singer Portable has claimed he has already received ₦40 million from organizers for a proposed celebrity boxing match against content creator and entertainer Carter Efe, as negotiations surrounding the bout continue to draw public attention.
In a statement circulating on social media, Portable alleged that the payment forms part of ongoing arrangements for the highly publicized fight. He further claimed that music executive Soso Soberekon offered ₦50 million for the match, while businessman Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, pledged an additional ₦50 million and a vehicle if he defeats Carter Efe.
The proposed celebrity bout emerged after Soberekon publicly suggested a cash-backed boxing match between the two entertainers, with Carter Efe reportedly accepting the challenge during a livestream session.
However, Portable has repeatedly dismissed earlier financial offers as insufficient, previously demanding higher compensation, including a luxury vehicle valued in the hundreds of millions of naira before agreeing to step into the ring.
The singer has also expressed confidence in his fighting ability, referencing past appearances in celebrity boxing events as proof of his readiness for the proposed contest.
As of press time, there has been no official confirmation from the organizers regarding the alleged ₦40 million payment or the final terms of the fight agreement. It also remains unclear whether negotiations will culminate in a formal contract or a scheduled date for the match.
The potential showdown has generated significant buzz across Nigeria’s entertainment landscape, reflecting the growing intersection between celebrity culture and exhibition boxing events in Africa.
