Habeeb ‘Portable’ Badmus has claimed that his defeat to Carter Efe in the celebrity bout was engineered to protect organisers from paying out billions of naira wagered on his victory.
“It was cheating. They couldn’t pay the money, so they rigged it. We are the ones who won, so they ripped me. They couldn’t pay the N23 billion that people bet on me. If Portable wins, they can never pay the money,”
“They should have let us keep fighting. They said I was panting — I did the same against Charles Okocha. All they should have done was pour water on me so I could go and beat him, but they said the fight was over,”
“To the organisers, I want my stream money amounting to about N200 million. Just give me my money before I cause trouble,”
The controversial singer however added that the birth of his son is a huge consolation for him
”My wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. I value that more than a belt. You can buy the belt, but not my child,”
