All roads will lead to the Balmoral Convention Center in Victoria Island as musicians Portable and Speed Darlington prepare for a boxing showdown later in April.

The duo who have openly displayed anger towards one another will go head-on on Friday, April 18, 2025.

The friction between the warring factions started when the Imo State-born Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming show promising to pay him a fee of ₦500,000.

Portable rejected the invite while describing the Ijesha-born Zeh Nation boss for being "poor". According to the 31-year-old, he charges ₦20 million per performance.

“You are inviting me to a show, and you don’t have money. You are using my name to promote your show. I charge ₦20 million, ask around,” Portable said. "…You’re offering me ₦500k, for what? I don’t want to be friends with poor people. I didn't know he is that poor.”

Darlington then responded furiously, accusing Portable of insulting his mother.

“Why did I bring myself low? Why did I contact Portable? I regret it because why the insults? Why did my mother get into the discussion?” he said.

Portable responded by challenging Darlington to a fight. He boasted that he would defeat him just as he did to actor Charles Okocha.

“I want to fight you. We should both be put in a boxing ring. I will defeat you like I defeated Okocha,” he bragged.

To announce the boxing match, the organiser Mygamerush announced on Instagram, "You asked and now it is here. Two street king’s battle for ultimate street supremacy."

While Portable has not responded to the set game, Darlington has challenged him, showing off his trainer ahead of the battle day.
