Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable has aimed a dig at Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha whom he won in a recent celebrity boxing match, urging him to seek a rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua.
Prior to this, several media outlets had reported that Portable defeated Okocha on Wednesday, December 26, in a ring fight fixed to settle a monetary dispute between them.
However, expressing his grievances after the match, the actor accused the match organisers of rigging and demanded a rematch.
After the results were announced, Okocha filed a formal complaint insisting that Portable removed his gloves during the third round of the boxing match and should have been disqualified.

In an Instagram post, Okocha expressed his frustration, saying: “How can you give up in the 3rd round when there are 4? How can you take off your gloves in the middle of the round, leading to disqualification, when the fight isn’t even over?”
He further criticised the referee, claiming: “It’s clear this was rigged, with an incompetent referee who doesn’t know boxing rules.”
Despite his disappointment, the thespian said he was moving forward, declaring: “Nevertheless, we move on. Rematch coming soon.”
Reacting to the actor’s demand for a rematch, Portable in a now trending video online rejected a rematch with the actor, stating that if he (Okocha) wants any rematch, he should go and meet Anthony Joshua.
The controversial singer went on to boast that he effortlessly beat Okocha during the celebrity boxing match.
Speaking via his social media post, Portable said: “If you want a rematch, call Anthony Joshua, I have already won the match.”
