Socialite E-Money has congratulated comedian and online streamer Carter Efe on defeating controversial singer Portable, promising to honour his pledge of N50 million.

n

Efe defeated Portable early Saturday in a game which had all three judges rule 27–30 in favour of Efe.

n

Portable’s loss at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event held at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, meant the end of his reign as celebrity boxing champion.

n

E-Money, born Emeka Okonkwo, reaffirmed his commitment after Balmoral Group Promotions CEO, Ezekiel Adamu, put the question to him at the end of the fight.

n

“You know we put our money where our mouth is, and so congratulations Carter on your win. N50 million for you,” he said.

n

Adamu, on his part, said the event had delivered on all its promises.

n

“We promised Chaos in the Ring and we have delivered very entertaining fights tonight. There is more coming, thanks to everyone that made this a success and to the fighters for the great display,” he said.

n

In the co-main event, Godday Appah was crowned the new WBO Africa cruiserweight champion after defeating Ezra Arenyeka by split decision.

n

The bout had been billed as a symbolic WBO Peace Fight between the Itsekiri and Ijaw communities of the Niger Delta.

n

The same night, Basit Adebayo claimed the WBO Africa title with a unanimous decision victory over former WABU champion, Loren Japhet.
