The high-energy showdown, staged at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, captured massive attention online as Carter Efe stunned fans by defeating Portable through a unanimous decision after three intense rounds.
Following the upset victory, E-Money publicly announced a ₦50 million cash reward for the comedian, a gesture that quickly dominated conversations across social media platforms and entertainment circles.
But days after the fight, doubts began to surface when Carter Efe complained during a livestream that the promised money had not yet arrived. The entertainer’s remarks sparked mixed reactions online, with fans questioning whether the pledge would be honoured.
The drama was eventually settled when Carter Efe visited E-Money’s residence alongside members of his team, where the businessman officially presented him with the ₦50 million cheque. The presentation, witnessed by singer Kcee and music executive Soso Soberekon, quickly went viral after videos surfaced online showing the comedian celebrating the long-awaited payout.
The boxing clash itself became one of the entertainment industry’s most talked-about celebrity events, largely because many fans had tipped Portable to dominate the contest based on his previous appearances in celebrity fights.
Instead, Carter Efe emerged victorious and later humorously crowned himself “Carter Mayweather” while basking in the excitement surrounding the win.
