In a statement reported by *Punch Newspapers*, Nollywood actor Charles Okocha forcefully denied biting street-hop singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, during their wild celebrity boxing rematch. Biting allegations began circulating online following chaos during their viral bout, prompting Okocha to clear his name in hilarious, signature fashion.
Okocha rejected the claims entirely, stating that he would “rather chew grass” than put his teeth anywhere near Portable during a live match. The ongoing rivalry between both energetic personalities has triggered massive fan engagement, blending Nigerian celebrity antics with combat sports spectacle.
Covering the feud, *Naija News* quoted Okocha as saying, “I am a refined gentleman, I would rather chew grass than bite Portable.” Meanwhile, popular Instagram commentary page *@Instablog9ja* posted clip excerpts, adding, “Charles Okocha breaks silence over viral allegations from his boxing match with Portable.”
While the rivalry appears highly theatrical, celebrity exhibition matches in Nigeria are quickly evolving into lucrative pop-culture assets. Expect promoters to pitch a trilogy fight to capitalize on the viral controversy.
