Nigerians are worried about rapper Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, after a video surfaced of his bitter rival Portable working out hard before their boxing showdown.

Following an online argument over a performance attendance fee, they struck a settlement.

In the past, Speed Darlington has released multiple videos of himself working out and honing his punching technique at the gym.

Portable, however, seems to have mastered the sport, as seen by his superb weightlifting and shadow boxing.

Azania Omo-Agege, interim president of the regulatory board, advised event organizers to put safety first before the meeting.

This occurs just one week after Olusegun “Success” Olanrewaju, a Nigerian boxer, passed away during a bout in Ghana.

Brila claims that the late Nigerian boxer’s postmortem revealed that he passed away during his fight from abrupt cardiac arrest.

The boxing communities in Ghana and Nigeria are in sorrow following the horrific event, and his opponent Jon Mbanugu is thinking about retiring early.

In the meantime, NBF president Omo-Agege had reservations regarding the preparation period prior to the forthcoming fight between Portable and Speed Darlington.

According to a Punch report, he stated: “First of all, I want to thank Portable for bringing awareness to boxing using his celebrity status. I want to advise their promoters to please encourage them to train.

“Personally, I think the two weeks that they want to start fighting is too soon because you don’t know their health status at this time, how fit they are. “These are artistes, I’m not there, but I’m sure they do take alcohol in their system. So they might not be very healthy right now to have that kind of stamina to fight in the ring.

“I will also advise the promoters to make sure this time around, Portable and Speed Darlington wear headgear. “They can’t leave their head bare like what they did with Okocha. That’s completely wrong.”
