Come on.

Oh my days. Oh oh oh oh my word.

Obey my commands.

We have the rule.

Whatever I tell you If I tell you to stop, you stop.

Stop. If I tell you to to break, that means you are holding yourself. It's a

break. Break.

Yes. All right, that's the rule of the game.

And Mashallah.

commit foul anyhow. Do you understand? Yes.

anyhow. Do you understand? Yes.

That's the rule.

You obey me at all times.

Understand? Look at how Mashallah is, man. Cartel.

man. Cartel.

I hopefully you going to win this.

One of the massive fight in the history of Nigeria.

Instructions finally issued. Carter Efe and Portable.

finally issued. Carter Efe and Portable.

Four Cartel here, man.

two-minute rounds.

Every bit a catchweight contest. The

size difference is stark. No. Both men have huge social

is stark. No. Both men have huge social media followings.

Millions between them.

Oh my days.

But now My days.

they go toe-to-toe in the ring. And

Portable fast out of the traps.

Portable.

Mashallah.

From the big shots from Carter Efe, it's a difficult one-two.

I told you.

You run, DO YOUR BEST. WHAT MATTER?

THAT'S CRAZY. ABSOLUTELY CRAZY STUFF THERE. And you can see Portable

THERE. And you can see Portable resorting to something that looks like wrestling right here. No.

They need to listen to the referee. And that's where the problem is

referee. And that's where the problem is cuz I'm I'm I'm almost thinking I'm watching WWE doing?

But in fairness, they didn't really listen to the instructions before the fight. I think this is going to quickly

fight. I think this is going to quickly become a street fight. Yeah.

And then you both of them I think Carter knows that if he's going to come, he's he has to come aggressively as well because that's what Portable is all about.

Yeah. Portable most times in his victory has actually used you know, aggression, intimidation, and a host of other things. And Carter's trying to tell him

things. And Carter's trying to tell him bring whatever you want to bring. I'm

right here. And I think his match well enough. Don't forget he's he's the

enough. Don't forget he's he's the taller of the of the of the two fighters. And of course, he's also got

fighters. And of course, he's also got the reach as well. And he's got the same following. Also actually in his crowd

following. Also actually in his crowd telling them they need to come. But I

think that if Mashallah.

calms himself down, he looks like the better boxer that can score punches because I saw Carter Efe swinging very wildly. And I

wildly. And I He got to a stage where he was pretty much like hammering down at the back of his opponent.

He's got the pose and the demeanor of the boxer between the two. But of

course, the height difference means he's having to stretch to find anything.

No.

No.

No.

Okay.

Well, it comes up with some stuff. And it's

whoever lands first here.

And now you can see that Portable knows that Efe has that punch power as well.

Can he finish it off? I know. It's

Carter and Portable. But Portable's

standing strong. He has got a lot of energy as well. Uh

The problem Portable's going to have in this fight is the fact that he needs to recognize he doesn't have the longer reach. And the moment he calms down, the

reach. And the moment he calms down, the better for him because the way he fights, he might just walk into a bomb.

And that's not what he wants to do.

Well, this place is absolutely shaking.

We've got absolutely no idea where we are in the round. The two minutes are actually long time ago. There's a right hand from Carter Efe lands.

Portable happy to walk through it and try and throw a couple of bombs of his own. And Carter Efe is

own. And Carter Efe is not got his balance at all. There's no

stance. You do wonder if he worked on anything in the gym.

These guys have totally thrown all boxing skills they have been taught in the last few weeks, months out of the window.

Out of the building.

Well, we are That's the end of round one. That's the end of round one. Salt

one. That's the end of round one. Salt

Papi, KSI, Deji, even the rest, they'd be proud of this one.

A reminder that Misfits Boxing does return in July.

Tommy Fury and Eddie Hall are stacked on the card.

But will anything rival this? Is it

believable? Uh well, I'm not sure when it comes to followership, but crazy people, you know.

But one thing you can be sure is that Carter Efe has been able to make a statement with that first round. And

Portable knows that it's not going to be easy for him. You see You see Efe using that left hand, you know, to create a some sort of opportunity for him. Very

unorthodox fighting style for both of them. I mean, it's pretty much like Efe

them. I mean, it's pretty much like Efe is swinging up his his upper cuts.

Be interesting to look at the Compubox numbers at the end of that round.

And it feels like the referee himself IS SO SCARED to even get in the middle so that he doesn't get caught with one by itself. Yeah, do you wonder if our

itself. Yeah, do you wonder if our referee knows quite what he's let himself in for here.

Just as well we haven't gone with corner graphics. Carter Efe

has a corner team of about 24.

And And age could also be a factor here as well. 24 to 32. Portable

well. 24 to 32. Portable

Oh no.

Let's get back really quick to Efe. When

PC's powered by about it every time Efe is hoping you don't do I'm I'm not here to fight you. We're

just here to celebrate and have fun. He

always wants to touch the gloves. And uh

Portable is not having any of it.

I struggle to see how Portable is going to land anything upstairs.

He's not All right, he continues to throw them.

Efe is doing A GREAT JOB.

KEEPS HIM UP THERE.

Watch out as Carter Efe swings and misses with the big right.

He gets turned. And the referee's just going to let them crack on. And why not?

Efe is definitely edging this with what we've seen so far. He's been able to land some very big punches. But you can also see that uh Portable has got a lot of stamina. He's got a strong chin as

of stamina. He's got a strong chin as well because other celebrities would have dropped from some of the bombs that Efe has dropped. But my concern is Efe's got a lot of energy as well. If

you see him on his streaming, you think he's a madman as well. So,

I want I want to see what's going to happen in the third round. Will they still have this intensity?

I I wonder if the excitement and everything else has potentially got to Portable using a a bad way in that corner.

Yeah, and I and I think he's exhausted himself with all the dancing and all the crazy stuff.

Yeah, I think the adrenaline of both men Round two now. has probably just got a little much for them. And it it is hot in this arena. I think they've called that the end of round two. Well, my

word, this sets the scene for a new Efe and Carter, doesn't it? Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I think we're going to see something a little bit different at breakfast.

Portable is absolutely exhausted. The doctor's

absolutely exhausted. The doctor's having a long look there. I wonder

The way he's looking at that corner, I will not be surprised if he's not coming out of that corner.

And you can see Efe already when we get to that. But for now, let's let's stick with Portable. Uh the

doctor's going into the ring cuz he can see how exhausted he is as well.

And don't forget this These guys are professional boxers. So, it has to be

professional boxers. So, it has to be taken into consideration. You see the way he's panting there.

There has been a long night.

Obviously, these fighters have been waiting backstage for quite a few hours.

And I think the sheer adrenaline got them through that opening couple of minutes. But

minutes. But there's nothing left in the tank, is there?

He needs to reserve his energy and try and fight a bit more sensibly. Uh the

man who touched gloves with him earlier on is one of the biggest fighters out of Nigeria. Taiwo Awoniyi Igbaji. He was at

Nigeria. Taiwo Awoniyi Igbaji. He was at the York Hall uh for some, you know, bouts some time some some years back. And uh

you can see Carter Efe there looking more relaxed amongst the two of them.

And he's somebody that I think that if he needs to up the ante, he will definitely do that.

Well, we've had a few breaks in proceedings tonight.

We get another one here as Carter Efe, the man with the largest Twitch streaming following in the entire continent of Africa, but he's never been in a boxing ring.

[music] Portable has been in there twice. He's

won two decision victories over Charles Okcha and Speed Darlington.

So, he got through those fights. But

potentially the build-up to this one has all got a bit too much. He hyped himself up.

He's hyped himself up into an absolute frenzy.

Yeah, I think they're going to wave it off. They're going to The doctor being

off. They're going to The doctor being consulted at ringside.

Portable was shaking his head, but I think he was shaking his head as if to say do not call this off. Do not pull me out of this fight. And that's my problem with him. He's trying to get him to be

with him. He's trying to get him to be calm. You know, well, he seems to be

calm. You know, well, he seems to be jumping all over the place. And they're

like telling him, you know, and the doctor's like, you don't really have any words, cuz they don't want any serious health situation on their hands. Kattaleya, the

promoter, and his partner was having a chat with the doctor as well. Everyone wants to get a conclusion to this fight, but of course, the safety No.

of the two men in there is paramount.

Absolutely. And uh at any point in time, irrespective of whether this is a celebrity exhibition bout. And now,

it's confirmation. They are waving it off.

And it'll be a no contest, of course, if that's the case. But now, Portable has sprung back to life and claiming that he wants to continue.

And I think that they will allow it to go on because he's shown a bit of a more stamina. And uh

stamina. And uh Well, chaos in the ring has lived up to the billing. Absolutely. And of course,

the billing. Absolutely. And of course, it's climaxing even above the billing. So, we are going to see a third round.

The halfway point.

Four more minutes remain, do they?

Well, to be honest, I think Carter has a good chance of winning this game.

You can just about tick off everything on your boxing bingo card tonight.

I think they are going to have one more decisive round. This is the championship

decisive round. This is the championship round.

This is the championship round.

round.

Um judging from the fact that both of them aren't professional boxers, and uh you see EF once again, Two minutes to settle the score.

And Portable caught one on that exchange and may just look to hold on here for just over 100 seconds.

Two minutes, last round. Portable is out on his feet.

And the referee And I think the referee is saying no more. Yeah, I think he's saying no more.

is shaking his head.

What he's saying is that that's the end of the round. They had to reduce the the hour or the minutes of that round.

Uh three two rounds have gone on already. And the way they're going, I

already. And the way they're going, I think for the safety of both boxers, they have to quickly, you know, stop.

It's crazy though, but So, with two rounds complete, do we go to the cards?

Two and a half rounds, you want to say I want to say.

Ah, I think they should let them finish.

aren't happy.

Well, yeah, I think They just want to see a conclusion.

[cheering] Are we on course to see a new celebrity boxing champion? And you can see the

boxing champion? And you can see the fans of Carter Efe chanting his name.

And he's also lapping to it as well.

It would be an interesting spectacle to see Portable's reaction. He's someone who

Portable's reaction. He's someone who doesn't like to be on the losing side.

It'd be very interesting to see if we do get a winner declared. I would guess a no contest would be the outcome.

Possibly. Maybe we do it all again.

Absolutely. And then of course, then they'll have to give them all strict instructions. They need to listen to the

instructions. They need to listen to the referee.

Chaos in the ring. Confusion out of it.

Incredibly, a discussion is being had with the judges, but For you, who got it? If we're scoring that for two rounds, I I I definitely would be giving it to Carter Efe.

But I suspect that we could be seeing one of those Jake Paul Mike Tyson kind of results.

Yeah. Cuz I

Let's see who I still can't understand how Jake Paul got that result in that fight against Tyson. We got a lot of us knew that Tyson was withholding his punches. And well,

punches. And well, it that's what the exhibition bouts are all about anyways. But this one, I may not be surprised, just like you said.

But I don't think they want to give it as a no contest. I I suspect we could be seeing a draw.

And then we're going to have to have another one, like you said. A draw?

Nah, they can't be they cannot do that.

Don't do that.

I don't expect a draw in this game. At

least one person should have just let them win.

They cut off the minutes. Now we can they expect a draw?

What's going on?

What is going on?

Oh.

Need a look to go straight from work to The Devil Wears Prada 2 in cinemas?

I like the tie most on Google for a fit that works for both.

Guess the devil [music] is in the details.

to this two, you know, social media personalities.

Forget about the fact that they are singers as well, and of course, comedians. But they are big social media

comedians. But they are big social media personalities.

Well, they are bringing the two men together.

I think Victor Godfrey is being informed of what the outcome is.

[screaming] [cheering] CARTER WON THE FIGHT.

KING OF AFRICAN SOCIAL media scene gets a first pro victory on debut.

And he has settled the beef BETWEEN WELL, I SAY he's settled the beef between these two, but I'm sure this is not the last we've heard of the rivalry between Carter Efe

and Portable. It was almost impossible

and Portable. It was almost impossible to score, but we've got to score somehow. Yeah, and and and it was down

somehow. Yeah, and and and it was down to who landed the clearer punches.

[music] And you've got to say it was Carter Efe who rocked Portable quite a few times. I was

expecting Portable to use his wealth of experience having done two celebrity fights before now.

But he was so animated, I guess he was so angry that he wasn't really looking at he was going into a judo fight [music] with Carter Efe, who was more concerned about throwing punches rather than

wrestling. And then you saw him every

wrestling. And then you saw him every time the round start, Carter Efe always went with his gloves, trying to tell Portable that yeah, it's a fight, but you know, we're celebrities. We're just making people

celebrities. We're just making people happy, giving joy. Touch gloves, let's go into it. And there's really no law against that as well. We see some boxers do it as well. In between rounds, you see them touching gloves.

Showing mutual respect for each other.

But, Portable wasn't having any of it at all. And at the end of the day, it

all. And at the end of the day, it wasn't like he was the better fighter.

Well, without he won the mind game battle at the beginning. He stayed

backstage. He stayed calm. Portable

worked himself up into an absolute frenzy in the ring and then had nothing left when that first bell eventually rang.

[music] So, Carter Efe gets the victory [music] on a quite incredible night. And I think we're going to get a word from him.

Uh I am with Carter Efe. You are the winner of this celebrity fight. Let me
