Carter Efe bags N50m gift from E-Money after beating Portable
Lagos-based socialite and businessman Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, has fulfilled his promise to reward comedian Carter Efe with N50 million following his victory over singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable.
The cash prize was announced after Carter Efe defeated Portable via unanimous decision at Chaos in the Ring 4, held at Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.
E-Money confirmed the reward at the end of the event after being prompted by Ezekiel Adamu, Chief Executive Officer of Balmoral Group Promotions.
“You know we put our money where our mouth is, and so congratulations Carter on your win. N50 million for you,” E-Money declared, drawing cheers from the audience.
Adamu also praised the event, describing it as a success that delivered on its promise of excitement and entertainment.
According to him, the fourth edition of the celebrity boxing series showcased intense matchups and drew strong participation from fans and entertainers alike.
“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.
The highly anticipated bout between Carter Efe and Portable served as the headline attraction of the night, following weeks of online exchanges, callouts, and build-up from both camps. The rivalry had generated significant buzz across social media, with fans divided over who would emerge victorious.
Portable, known for his outspoken personality, had entered the fight brimming with confidence. The singer had earlier boasted that he was on track to secure a third boxing belt, having previously claimed exhibition victories over actor Charles Okocha and rapper Speed Darlington.
However, inside the ring, it was Carter Efe who dominated proceedings. The comedian effectively utilised his height and reach advantage, controlling the pace of the fight and landing more decisive punches across the three rounds.
By the end of the contest, all three judges scored the bout 27–30 in favour of Carter Efe, sealing a clear and unanimous victory. The result not only handed him bragging rights but also secured the lucrative N50 million prize promised by E-Money.
The outcome has since sparked reactions online, with many fans applauding Carter Efe’s performance and discipline in the ring, while others expressed surprise at Portable’s defeat despite his earlier confidence.
Beyond the entertainment value, the event further highlights the growing popularity of celebrity boxing in Nigeria, where influencers, musicians, and actors step into the ring to settle rivalries and engage fans in a different form of spectacle.
With the success of Chaos in the Ring 4, organisers have hinted at bigger matchups in future editions, suggesting that the blend of entertainment and sports will continue to attract attention across the country.
