Nigerian street-hop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is wasting no time dwelling on his recent boxing defeat, as he has already begun pushing for another celebrity fight hours after losing to Carter Efe.
In a leaked audio message circulating online, the controversial singer openly admitted defeat but quickly shifted focus to his next move, pleading for another opportunity in the ring, but this time, against a different opponent.
“I am ready for the next match in October. My boss, God bless you, it will continue to be well with you, Mr Adamu. I appreciate. I am still going again.”
Despite the loss, the singer maintained a tone of confidence, insisting that his fighting spirit remains intact.
“I am a winner, I have my two belts. I am not fighting against Carter Efe again—I have given him his glory. Let’s give another person glory.”
Portable made it clear he has no interest in a rematch with Carter Efe, effectively closing the chapter on their rivalry—for now. Instead, he appears eager to stay active in the growing celebrity boxing scene, positioning himself for another headline-grabbing bout.
The statement has since sparked reactions online, with fans debating whether the singer is genuinely focused on redemption or simply capitalizing on the attention surrounding the fight.
While Portable is already calling for another match, Carter Efe has taken a completely different stance. Following his victory, the comedian made it clear that he is in no rush to return to the ring.
“I am not thinking about any rematch now. I want to go and rest first. I am very tired. Let him ask me later.”
His response suggests that any possibility of a rematch may not happen anytime soon.
Portable’s quick pivot from defeat to determination highlights his signature resilience and flair for staying in the spotlight. Known for turning controversy into momentum, the singer appears to be leveraging the buzz from the fight to secure another high-profile showdown.
