Portable has been joyfully celebrating his win over rival Darlington Okoye, known as Speed Darlington, who blamed his loss in the boxing match on Portable's supposed use of “juju” (charms).

Later that day, he posted another message on his Instagram story celebrating, saying: “Joy full my body, money don land.”
