Portable Gears Up for Celebrity Boxing Match with Intense Workout Ahead of April 18 Showdown
Netizens are buzzing with reactions and concern as Portable was spotted in an intense workout session ahead of his highly anticipated celebrity boxing match against Speed Darlington, scheduled for April 18th.
What started as an online beef over show appearance fees has escalated into a full-blown physical showdown between the two controversial music stars.
While Speed Darlington has posted several clips of himself training and learning to throw punches at the gym, Portable’s recent videos show a different level of preparation—shadow boxing with precision, lifting weights, and moving with the energy of someone who’s been in the ring before.
The contrast in their training styles has sparked reactions online, with many netizens expressing fear that Speed Darlington might be biting off more than he can chew. Comments like “Speedy no go survive this one o,” and “Portable don dey move like Mike Tyson” are flooding social media.
While the match promises entertainment, it also has fans hoping it doesn’t go from comic to chaotic. With both men known for their eccentric personalities and unpredictable behavior, April 18th is shaping up to be one of the wildest nights in Nigerian celebrity history.
Who do you think will win this chaotic clash—Zazuu himself or Speedy Baba? 🥊👀

Recall, Portable brushed off the proposed match, accusing Speed Darlington of using the stunt to drum up publicity for his upcoming show in April.
Rather than entertaining the idea, Portable redirected his energy toward a far more high-profile target — British-Nigerian boxing superstar Anthony Joshua.
Never one to shy away from bold claims, Portable demanded a jaw-dropping ₦100 million purse to step into the ring with Joshua. He also took the opportunity to throw shade at Darlington, declaring himself a far more successful figure in the music game.
