Portable, who gained fame for his hit song "Zazuu," expressed his desire to face Terry G in the ring, asserting that the bout could be a significant turning point for the veteran artist. "If Terry G fights me, one-on-one in boxing, he will rise again. People will remember him again," Portable stated, indicating he sees the potential for the match to serve as a platform for Terry G's resurgence in the music industry.
The 32-year-old artist, who has been making waves in the boxing scene since his debut in December 2023, further emphasized his intent to help revitalize Terry G's career. He acknowledged the somewhat unconventional route of using celebrity boxing as a means of promoting fellow artists and enhancing their visibility.
In addition to challenging Terry G, Portable expressed his eagerness for a rematch with skit maker Carter Efe, who handed him his first defeat in May 2026. "I will go again with Carter Efe. I will beat him," he confidently declared, showcasing his competitive spirit.
Portable also mentioned his upcoming bout with actor Charles Okocha, indicating that he plans to return to London following that fight. He believes that his participation in celebrity boxing has significantly contributed to the sport's growing popularity in Nigeria, saying, "I used my music career to build Nigerian boxing."
On the topic of his relationship with rapper Olamide, Portable denied any rumors of a fallout, affirming that Olamide has played a crucial role in his success. "I did not fight Olamide. He’s my helper," he remarked, dismissing speculation about tensions between them.
In a striking prediction about the Nigerian music industry, Portable claimed that no local artist will secure a Grammy Award without collaborating with him. "No Nigerian artiste will win a Grammy without featuring me," he asserted, demonstrating his ambitious outlook on his influence in the industry.
Since stepping into the boxing arena, Portable's career has seen a mix of triumphs and challenges. He initially won his first exhibition match against Charles Okocha by decision and achieved a technical knockout victory over rapper Speed Darlington in April 2025. However, his unbeaten streak came to an end when Carter Efe defeated him by unanimous decision at the "Chaos in the Ring 4" event in Lagos.
As the entertainment landscape continues to evolve, Portable’s dual career in music and boxing has sparked discussions about the intersections of both worlds, leaving fans curious about what the future holds for both him and Terry G.
With celebrity boxing gaining traction in Nigeria, the proposed match between Portable and Terry G could potentially draw significant attention and perhaps even rejuvenate the latter's music career, should it come to fruition.
