The long-awaited fight between controversial Nigerian entertainers Portable and Speed Darlington (Akpi) finally took place last night — but it ended quicker than anyone expected. The fight, which barely made it past the first round, saw Portable dominating the ring, ultimately leaving Akpi injured with a broken nose and a broken arm. Unable to continue, Speed Darlington refused to proceed beyond round one, declaring Portable the victor by default.

Portable, never one to shy away from the spotlight, wasted no time in celebrating his win online, posting about his triumph and showing off his victorious moment. Known for mixing his wild street energy with music and now combat sports, Portable has been steadily building a reputation in the boxing world after announcing earlier this year that he was training for potential celebrity matches.
But the story doesn’t end in the ring.
Speed Darlington took to Instagram shortly after the fight, clapping back fiercely at Portable and his critics. In a passionate post, Akpi wrote, “I fight, I rap, I sing. I have a brave heart. I achieved everything on my own. If you cross me, I will challenge you.” He also hinted that lack of preparation may have cost him the match, stating, “Imagine if I had up to 10 or 20 training sections instead of four spread out in two weeks.”
