“Victory Was Scripted to Avoid ₦23bn Betting Payment” — Portable Claims After Celebrity Boxing Fight

 

Nigerian singer Portable has alleged that the outcome of a recent celebrity boxing match involving Carter Efe was pre-planned by organisers, claiming it was staged to avoid paying a massive betting payout reportedly worth ₦23 billion.

The controversy centres around a celebrity boxing event where content creator Carter Efe emerged victorious, a result that has since sparked debate online.

Portable’s Allegation

In a video circulating on social media, Portable accused the organisers of scripting the fight outcome. He claimed the decision was not genuine but arranged to prevent what he described as a huge betting liability linked to the match.

According to him, the result was “not real competition” but a controlled outcome designed behind the scenes.

The allegation has triggered mixed reactions across social media:

• Some users dismissed Portable’s claim as speculation and attention-seeking
