Nigerian singer Portable and comedian Carter Efe are scheduled to face off in a celebrity boxing bout titled "Chaos in the Ring" on May 1, 2026, at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos. The event is organized by Balmoral Group Promotions in partnership with AK Promotions, owned by former world champion Amir Khan, and is sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control. The fight will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.
Portable has been actively promoting the match, sharing training videos and engaging with fans as build-up continues. Carter Efe did not attend the event press conference, a detail that drew attention in the lead-up to the fight. Organizers have framed the celebrity bout as part of a larger boxing night that blends high-profile entertainment with sanctioned professional contests.
Promoters say the card is designed to showcase African boxing on a global stage, pairing the celebrity attraction with a lineup of professional fights. With DAZN carrying the event internationally and the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control providing official sanction, the night aims to reach a broad audience while remaining under the oversight of established boxing authorities. The clash between two personalities with substantial social media followings is expected to be a focal point of the evening, which organizers present as both entertainment and a platform for the region’s boxing talent.
