Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has already set his sights on his next celebrity boxing opponent, just hours after defeating controversial singer Portable in a chaotic rematch tagged "Unfinished Business." Okocha named skit maker and content creator Carter Efe as his desired next opponent, making clear he is not intimidated by the challenge.
Okocha Names Carter Efe as Next Opponent
Speaking to media representatives after the fight, Okocha directly addressed the possibility of facing Carter Efe next. The actor left no room for doubt about his intentions.
"I don't care if it's Carter Efe and all that. I wish I could because I wanna beat the living hell out of that kid. Like Yo, I am not scared; bring it on," Okocha said in a video that quickly circulated online.
The callout adds a new layer to an already heated celebrity boxing scene. Carter Efe, a popular skit maker, previously defeated Portable in a celebrity boxing match earlier in 2026. That earlier loss appears to fuel Okocha's motivation, as he looks to settle scores with multiple opponents.
Controversial Rematch at Federal Palace Hotel
The victory that sparked the callout came on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. The fight, dubbed "Unfinished Business," was a rematch stemming from a long-running dispute over the first encounter between the two men, which had originally been ruled in Portable's favour.
Okocha had never accepted that result, and the rematch was arranged to settle the score. During the second meeting, Portable appeared competitive before the fight descended into a chaotic brawl that the referee could not control. Security personnel and bodyguards were forced to intervene after the bell closed the opening round, with officials ultimately handing Okocha the win by disqualification when Portable failed to return to the ring in a proper manner.
Fans React to Okocha's Challenge to Carter Efe
The challenge quickly set social media alight, with fans sharing a wide range of opinions on whether Okocha could handle Carter Efe. Some supported the actor, while others warned that he may have met his match.

The comments reflect the divided opinion among fans, with some convinced Okocha is on a winning streak and others believing Carter Efe's style would pose a serious threat.
Portable Claims He Was Bitten
Meanwhile, the controversy did not end with the final bell. Portable, the Afrobeats singer who was disqualified, later claimed that Okocha bit him during the fight. In a video shared on Instagram, Portable showed marks on his body as evidence of the alleged bite.
The singer insisted he had dominated the bout before the scuffle broke out. He further declared that he would not fight again, framing his exit as a matter of self-worth rather than defeat. His management also reportedly issued an apology to organisers and fans for the chaotic end to the event.
As the dust settles on the "Unfinished Business" rematch, all eyes are now on Carter Efe to see whether he will accept Okocha's challenge. If he does, the celebrity boxing scene in Nigeria could be in for another explosive showdown.
