‘It was rigged’ – Charles Okocha hints on rematch after defeat to Portable
Charles Okocha, a popular Nollywood actor, has begged that his ring fight with controversial artist Portable be called off.
ER reports that Portable defeated the actor in a celebrity boxing match fixed to settle a monetary dispute between them on Wednesday.
Reacting to Portable’s victory, Okocha accused the referee and the match organizers of rigging.
Expressing his grievances on his social media page, the actor alleged that Portable removed his boxing gloves during the third round, an action that should have led to immediate disqualification.
He said; “How can you give up in the 3rd round when we have 4 rounds? How do you take off your gloves in the third round, leading to total disqualification when the fight hasn’t ended?
“You all know this was rigged, with an incompetent referee who knows nothing about boxing rules. Nevertheless, we move on. Rematch is coming soon.”
