 Charles Okocha Defeats Portable as Fearless Energy Drink Backs Celebrity Boxing Rematch

Charles Okocha reclaimed bragging rights over street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, after emerging victorious in the much-publicised celebrity boxing rematch, Chaos in the Ring, sponsored by Fearless Energy Drink.

The event, held on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, attracted celebrities, sports enthusiasts, entertainment lovers and hundreds of fans eager to witness the latest chapter in the rivalry between the two entertainers.

Tagged "Unfinished Business," the rematch revisited the feud that first gained public attention in December 2023. The contest ended dramatically after Portable walked out of the ring during the opening round, leading to his disqualification and handing Okocha victory under the rules of the bout.

The fight had earlier witnessed heightened tension when Portable took Okocha to the canvas with a wrestling-style move, prompting immediate intervention by the referee and security personnel. Although the singer later returned to insist that the takedown should have earned him the win, officials upheld the contest rules and declared Okocha the winner.

Beyond the headline clash, the event featured several celebrity and professional boxing contests. Basit "Joker Boy" Adebayo, Yusuf Adeniji, Suleiman Jafaru, Michael Babalola and Shiloh "Sugar Shy" Defreitas all secured victories in their respective bouts, highlighting the growing popularity of combat sports in Nigeria.

Fearless Energy Drink, the flagship energy drink brand of Rite Foods Limited, served as the official energy drink sponsor of the event.

Speaking on the partnership, Brand Manager of Fearless Energy Drink, Rite Foods Limited, Olaniyi Aderuku, said the sponsorship reflects the brand's commitment to supporting platforms that promote courage, resilience, confidence and determination while creating memorable experiences for consumers.

He commended the organisers for delivering what he described as a world-class sporting and entertainment spectacle and expressed optimism about future collaborations aimed at further promoting sports and entertainment in Nigeria.

According to Aderuku, the sponsorship aligns with the brand's "I CAN, I AM" philosophy, which encourages Nigerians to embrace challenges confidently, overcome limitations and pursue their ambitions with determination.

He added that Fearless Energy Drink continues to strengthen its position in Nigeria's energy drink market through innovation, having pioneered Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle packaging in the category while also offering its Fearless Classic and Fearless Red Berry variants in cans.
