Carter Efe defeats Portable in Celebrity Boxing, wins N50m
Street-hop artiste Habeeb Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has suffered his first defeat in celebrity boxing after losing to social media comedian Carter Efe at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event in Lagos.
The bout, held at the Balmoral Hall Federal Palace Hotel, saw Efe dominate all three rounds, earning a unanimous decision victory with judges scoring it 27–30 in his favour.
Portable, who had previously defeated Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington to claim two belts, entered the ring full of confidence, vowing to secure a third title.
However, the fight unfolded differently. Despite an aggressive start from Portable, his wild punches failed to break through Efe’s composed defence. The comedian, leveraging his reach advantage, responded with calculated uppercuts and body shots that gradually took control of the fight.
As the rounds progressed, Efe’s precision and composure stood out, while Portable struggled to adjust his approach, relying on erratic swings and repeated clinches.
By the final bell, it was clear who had the upper hand, with Efe’s consistent performance sealing his victory and crowning him the new celebrity boxing champion.
The defeat marks the end of Portable’s unbeaten run in the ring and signals a shift in Nigeria’s growing celebrity boxing scene.
