Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has denied claims made by singer Portable that he bit him on the back during their highly publicized celebrity boxing rematch in Lagos.
The controversy followed their recent bout at the Balmoral Convention Centre, which ended in Portable’s disqualification after he abandoned standard rules, used illegal wrestling moves, and eventually walked out of the ring.
Portable later tried to justify his walkout by claiming Charles Okocha bit his back and put him in a neck lock during the contest, insisting he should not have participated in such a match.
