Online streamer Carter Efe has compared himself to the former world heavyweight champion Floyd Mayweather after defeating musician Portable in a celebrity bout early Saturday.

n

All three judges ruled 27–30 in favour of Efe at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event held at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

n

In his post-fight interview, Efe rejected comparison with British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua.

n

“Who called me Anthony Joshua? My name is Carter Mayweather,” he said, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

n

“I am feeling like an international world star,” he added.

n

Efe further said, “The fight was so easy. By the first round, I had made his face swell up. By the second round, he was already shaking. Third round, he fell.”

n

Flushed with victory, Efe said he had ambitions to take his boxing career beyond Nigeria.

n

“I just believed in God. If you believe in God, anything can happen. I want to try this again in an international way. I know we are going to get there one day,” he said.

n

Asked whether he would grant Portable a rematch, Efe was noncommittal.

n

“I will think about it. Let me go and rest first,” he said.
