Nigerian businessman and socialite, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money has congratulated content creator and streamer, Oderhohwo Joseph Efe, popularly known as Carter Efe on defeating controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, promising to honour his pledge of ₦50 million.

Carter Efe defeated Portable on Friday night in a game which had all three judges rule 27–30 in favour of Efe.

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.

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

“You know we put our money where our mouth is, and so congratulations Carter on your win. ₦50 million for you,” he said.

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

“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.

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

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

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