Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed that he amassed a staggering ₦70 million in just three days following his victory over fellow entertainer Speed Darlington in a celebrity boxing match.

The highly publicised bout, dubbed "Chaos in the Ring," took place on April 18 at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos.

Portable emerged victorious via technical knockout after Speed Darlington suffered a wrist injury in the first round and was unable to continue.

In a recent video that has gone viral, Portable detailed the financial breakdown of his earnings from the event. He stated that he was initially offered ₦30 million to accept the fight.

Upon winning, he received an additional ₦20 million as a bonus. Furthermore, Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, who has had a history of conflict with Speed Darlington, gifted Portable another ₦20 million in celebration of his victory. Portable stated: “I was first given ₦30 million to agree to the fight.

Then they said if I win, I would get another ₦20 million, making it ₦50 million. After I beat Speed Darlington, I even wounded him, and then Burna Boy sent me an extra ₦20 million. So, in just three days, I made ₦70 million"
