A viral clip posted by @portablebaeby on Instagram shows controversial street-pop artist Portable calling out veteran musician Terry G for an official celebrity boxing match. Portable claimed the bout would serve as an ideal platform to reignite fan interest in Terry G’s catalog while entertaining music lovers across the nation.
The “Zazoo Zehh” singer expressed confidence in organizing the event, pitching it as a high-stakes entertainment spectacle that blends music culture with sports entertainment.
Validating the challenge, Daily Post Nigeria reported that “Portable called out his senior colleague for a celebrity boxing fight,” citing his desire to generate headline-worthy excitement. Furthermore, The Nation Nigeria confirmed the proposal, quoting Portable as stating he wanted to “revive his career” through an organized ring battle.
Echotitbits take: While celebrity boxing remains relatively new in the West African music industry, Portable’s gimmick highlights a growing trend of using athletic combat spectacles for promotional buzz. If Terry G accepts, the event could pull significant pay-per-view or streaming numbers, though it currently remains an unconfirmed challenge pending official fight promoters.
