Nigerian street-pop star Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has declared that veteran singer Terry G is the next celebrity he wants to face in the boxing ring after his scheduled rematch with actor Charles Okocha.
Speaking during an interview on Rubbin’ Minds aired on Channels Television on Sunday, the controversial singer dismissed speculation that he was interested in fighting social media personality VeryDarkMan, insisting that Terry G remains his preferred opponent.
When asked whether he wanted to fight VeryDarkMan, Portable simply responded, “Terry G.”
“I want to fight Terry G,” he said.
The “Zazuu” crooner added that a boxing match between them would help restore Terry G’s popularity.
“If Terry G fights me one-on-one in boxing, I swear to God he will rise again. People will remind him again,” Portable stated.
When asked if the proposed bout was intended to boost Terry G’s career, he replied, “Yeah! I just train. I want to blow him.”
Portable also revealed plans for an international music tour after his July 31, 2026, rematch against Charles Okocha.
“After I fight and I beat Charles Okocha, I’m going to London. If I come back from London, I want to fight Terry G,” he said, adding that his 2026 tour would also take him to the United States, Russia, Malaysia, Dubai and South Africa.
Speaking about his boxing career, Portable claimed he had played a major role in promoting celebrity boxing in Nigeria.
“I use my own music career build boxing in Nigeria. Which boxer fit come out say he collect money pass me for this Nigeria? You dey collect reach ₦100 million. How many belts do you have? How many rounds did you fight? How much did you collect?” he queried.
The singer disclosed that he had already received ₦50 million from the ₦150 million purse agreed for his upcoming fight with Okocha.
“I don collect ₦50 million. We are fighting for ₦150 million,” he said.
Confident of victory, Portable insisted he would defeat the Nollywood actor in the highly anticipated rematch.
“Don’t worry, not if I win. I’m winning this match,” he said, before declaring himself “the face of boxing in Nigeria 2026.”
Portable also reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying, “I’m supporting Tinubu.”
The rematch between Portable and Okocha was activated after the actor exercised the rematch clause following Portable’s unanimous decision victory in their first encounter.
Ahead of the showdown, Okocha has been training with WBO Intercontinental heavyweight champion Moses Itauma, while Portable has continued preparations under WBA Africa lightweight champion Taiwo “Esehpo” Agbaje.
Portable previously knocked out singer Speed Darlington and also defeated Kizz Daniel’s bodyguard, Kelvin Atobiloye, popularly known as Kelvin Power, in an exhibition bout. However, Kelvin later dismissed the contest as a paid promotional event.
The singer’s only defeat in celebrity boxing came in May 2026 when content creator Carter Efe defeated him by unanimous decision at the Chaos in the Ring event.
