Habeeb ‘Portable’ Badmus and Carter Efe have both expressed confidence to win their forthcoming bout in the Chaos in the Ring 4 holding on May 1, 2026 in Lagos.

Both men came within inches of settling their rivalry early when the two social media stars met face-to-face at a heated face-off in Ikeja, Lagos.

They traded sharp words and needed to be separated by as over 200 fans gathered to witness the confrontation ahead of their May 1 celebrity boxing bout.

Portable expressed his confidence and made his intentions clear, drawing his thumb across his neck and addressed his supporters directly.
“My fans, I will beat him, I will finish him,” he declared, his trademark energy drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

The Zazu singer, who has previously beaten both Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington in celebrity exhibition bouts, was so fired up that he attempted to start proceedings on the spot, forcing bouncers to intervene before things escalated beyond a war of words.

Carter Efe was equally combative, refusing to be intimidated and matching Portable’s aggression with his own brand of defiance.
“You, you this small thing. We will meet in the ring and I will beat you,” he fired back.

The Chief Executive Officer of Balmoral Group Promotions, Ezekiel Adamu, said the energy on display at the face-off was exactly what he had anticipated from two entertainers who had been circling each other for months.

“This is Africa’s moment. We’ve built this card to showcase our own talent, the warriors who have come through the ranks here in Africa. When you put two people like this in the same room, you already know what you’re getting on May 1. Lagos is going to erupt,” he said.

The bout, sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, headlines the Chaos in the Ring 4 card and promoted by Balmoral Group Promotions in association with former world heavyweight champion, Amir Khan’s AK Promotions, and will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.
