Actor Charles Okocha has declared his recent boxing bout with Nigerian street-pop singer, Portable as rigged, even as he called for a rematch.
Portable was declared winner in a December 26 boxing match with Charles Okocha after fulfilling the qualifications to win the bout.
Charles Okocha in his reaction to the loss called out the referee for irregularities, alleging that Portable removed his boxing gloves during the third round, which should have resulted in immediate disqualification.
“How can you give up in the 3rd round when we have 4 rounds? How do you take off your gloves in the third round, leading to total disqualification when the fight hasn’t ended?”, he asked.
“Y’all know this was rigged, with an incompetent referee who knows nothing about boxing rules. Nevertheless, we move on. Rematch coming soon”, he said.
