On Wednesday, Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus, nicknamed Portable, was declared the winner of a celebrity boxing match versus Nollywood actor Charles Okocha.

The fight, sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment and staged at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State, began about 1 a.m. and lasted approximately 40 minutes.

After Portable claimed contractual concerns, which escalated to an internet battle over a purported N40m rip-off, the duo ultimately settled their scores with their fists.

Portable alleged Okocha defrauded him by only providing him a minimal sum, in violation of a contractual agreement.
