Charles Okocha reclaimed bragging rights over street-pop star Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, after emerging victorious in the much-anticipated Chaos in the Ring celebrity boxing rematch sponsored by Fearless Energy Drink.
The event, held at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, drew celebrities, sports enthusiasts and entertainment lovers for what has become one of Nigeria’s biggest celebrity boxing spectacles.
Tagged “Unfinished Business,” the rematch revived the rivalry that began in 2023 but ended dramatically when Portable walked out of the ring during the opening round and was disqualified, handing Okocha victory.
The bout had earlier witnessed heightened tension after Portable floored Okocha with a wrestling-style move, prompting intervention by the referee and security personnel. Although Portable later returned to contest the decision, officials upheld the rules and declared Okocha the winner.
Beyond the headline fight, the event featured several professional and celebrity boxing contests, with Basit “Joker Boy” Adebayo, Yusuf Adeniji, Suleiman Jafaru, Michael Babalola and Shiloh “Sugar Shy” Defreitas recording victories in their respective bouts.
Fearless Energy Drink, the flagship energy drink brand of Rite Foods Limited, powered the event as its official energy drink sponsor.
Brand Manager of Fearless Energy Drink, Olaniyi Aderuku, said the sponsorship reflects the brand’s commitment to supporting platforms that celebrate courage, confidence, resilience and determination while creating memorable experiences for consumers.
He also commended the organisers for staging a world-class event and expressed optimism about future collaborations that would further promote sports and entertainment in Nigeria.
According to Aderuku, the partnership aligns with Fearless Energy Drink’s “I CAN, I AM” philosophy, which encourages Nigerians to embrace challenges, overcome limitations and pursue their ambitions with confidence.
The company said the event reinforces the brand’s commitment to inspiring consumers while supporting initiatives that promote sports, entertainment and youth engagement.
