In a highly anticipated clash at the “Chaos in the Ring 4” event held on May 1, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, social media sensation and comedian Carter Efe emerged victorious over street-pop artist Portable (Habeeb Badmus).
Carter Efe secured a clear unanimous decision victory after three rounds. All three judges scored the bout 30-27 in Efe’s favor. The comedian, making his professional boxing debut, leveraged his height and reach advantage to outbox the more experienced but shorter Portable, who relied on aggressive, wild swings and showmanship.
The fight, broadcast on DAZN, lived up to its chaotic billing. Portable entered with confidence and pre-fight rituals, boasting an unbeaten celebrity boxing record and past exhibition wins.

The rivalry, fueled by online beef, delivered entertainment value and highlighted the growing popularity of Nigerian influencer boxing. Portable’s first celebrity loss adds another layer to his colourful persona, while Carter Efe solidifies his status as a multi-talented entertainer. Fans are already calling for rematches.
