It was billed as a rematch after Okocha maintained that their first encounter had not been judged fairly in Portable's favour.

How the Fight Fell Apart

Portable appeared to be gaining the upper hand when the contest broke down into a wrestling-like scuffle that the referee struggled to control, eventually requiring security personnel to step in.

In the confusion, the singer left the ring before a proper ruling could be issued, drawing boos from the crowd. Officials ultimately brought him back and handed him a disqualification.

The loss marked the second time Portable had come up short in the ring. He had previously lost to Carter Efe by unanimous decision on 1 May at the same venue, in a bout broadcast on DAZN.

After that earlier defeat to Okocha, Portable had claimed he received โ‚ฆ50 million for surviving one round, adding that the organisers had agreed to pay โ‚ฆ100 million had he completed two. He described himself at the time as "a glorious child" whose music career was untouched by the result.

Portable's Diss Track Hits Back

In his new track titled Ageyanje Paki, which roughly translates to accusations of being bitten, Portable directs his frustration at the officiating and the messy conclusion to the fight.

One line mocks the referee for looking away during the scuffle, while another threatens to take any future grievances to a local wrestling contest.

He also accuses Okocha of attempting to choke him, arguing that the move forced the bout to turn into a street brawl. The track's photo also had an animation suggesting that Charles bit him on his shoulder.
