Speed Darlington Gears Up for Battle Against Portable
Popular singer Speed Darlington is wasting no time in preparing for his much-anticipated boxing match against controversial artist Portable. A newly surfaced video shows the rapper in an intense training session at the gym, throwing punches at a heavy bag as he gears up for the April 18 face-off.
The celebrity fight was set in motion after the two artists clashed online over a show fee, with Portable mocking Speed Darlington for offering him just ₦500,000, an amount he found insulting. Their heated exchange soon escalated into a full-fledged grudge match, leading to the upcoming bout.
Now, Speed Darlington is putting in the work, ensuring he steps into the ring ready to battle.
Fans React: ‘Portable Will Destroy Him!’
The viral video of Speed Darlington’s training has sparked mixed reactions from fans, many of whom doubt his ability to match Portable’s energy in the ring.
One fan, @n6oflife6, commented:
“People wey dey chochocho anyhow can rarely ever throw hands. Portable go brush shege comot this one body.”
Another, @Balatic, suggested Portable has the upper hand:
“It will be an interesting one. But Portable may have the advantage from their training so far. Akpi needs to shed a lot of weight.”
Meanwhile, others have outrightly dismissed Speed Darlington’s chances, with @RealPearMan remarking:
“See how e dey throw knock. Weak man.”
