The fight between Carter Efe and Portable on Friday followed weeks of verbal exchanges between the two entertainers.
Portable is now entering the contest after previously winning two belts in celebrity boxing matches against Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington.
He had bragged before the fight that Carter Efe would help him win a third belt.
Portable stated, “I will use you to get my third belt. “Speed Darlington was bigger than you. Charles Okocha was bigger than you and I beat them. Now I’ll beat you.
Carter Efe said however, “One punch and you’re down.”
As the fight kicked off, Portable threw wild punches but Carter Efe used his height and reach to control the contest.
In rounds two and three, Portable kept swinging wide and clinching, while Carter Efe was landing cleaner combos.
The bout was scored 27-30 by all three judges to give Carter Efe the unanimous decision victory and the celebrity boxing crown.
