Netizens have flooded social media with hilarious and mocking reactions after Nigerian skit maker and singer Carter Efe failed to appear at the scheduled face-off press conference for his upcoming celebrity boxing match against controversial street-hop artist Portable.
The event, part of the “Chaos in the Ring” promotion set for May 1, 2026, at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, saw Portable arrive full of boldness while his opponent Efe was nowhere to be found. Many online users joked suggesting he might be intimidated by Portable’s aggressive persona and past street confrontations.

The fight details stem from a heated beef that escalated after music executive Soso Soberekon and others proposed a high-stakes celebrity bout, initially with a ₦50 million prize with Portable reportedly demanding for more.
Portable reacted fiercely to Carter’s no-show, boasting confidently at the press conference that he would “beat him in the ring and on the street,” vowing to handle Efe the same way he dealt with actor Charles Okocha in a prior celebrity fight.
He dismissed any notion of fear, insisting the absence only proves his dominance ahead of the clash.
