<h2>Controversial singer Habeeb "Portable" Okikiola has been dubbed the winner of the celebrity boxing match between himself and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha.</h2>

<p>The match held on Wednesday December 27, 2023 at Landmark Beach in Lagos state with fans cheering in the crowd. Portable represented the blue corner and was dressed in a blue boxing&nbsp;gear, while Okocha was dressed in red gear.</p>

<p>In the videos circulating on social media, Okocha was seen trying to dodge Portable's jabs and punches to no avail as Portable continued to swing, landing hit after hit on him. However, Okocha was able to throw Portable off, landing him on his back. But Portable quickly recovered and continued his barrage of Punches. The referee was seen separating the two on intervals to ensure a fair game.</p>

<p>After about 40 minutes and four solid rounds of exchanging jabs and punches, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/7-reasons-why-portable-continues-to-thrive-despite-his-uncertain-brand/3q0zcp4">the <strong><em>Zazu</em></strong> singer</a> defeated his opponent. In another clip, the spectators were heard chanting Portables signature slang "<em>Wahala, Wahala, Wahala" </em>in anticipation that he will be declared winner.</p>

<p>After deliberation, the host stepped into the ring declared Portable the winner.</p>

<p>After the announcement was made, the lights flickered and crowd cheered in support of the singer, whom at that point was on his knees in gratitude. In a show of good sportsmanship, Okocha gave Portable a firm handshake and a smile. Portable walked around the ring, gallantly showing off his newly won championship belt, as the crowd cheered.</p>

<p>This boxing match was arranged as a way to settle the score between the two men who had been going back and forth on social media. During the time, the singer had accused the actor of cheating him out of a ₦40 million deal for performing at an event. Okocha, on the other hand, attested that no agreements were signed to the fact, adding that Portable's performance was not up to expectations. He then paid the singer ₦5 million. However, Portable was not pleased, and eventually they decided that a boxing match was the best way to settle.</p>
