Portable’s management has publicly apologised to boxing organizers and everyone affected after the singer walked out of his celebrity boxing rematch against Charles Okocha, an action that led to his disqualification and handed victory to the Nollywood actor.
In a statement released shortly after the bout, the management expressed regret over Portable’s decision to leave the ring after the opening round and accepted full responsibility for the disappointment caused.
The statement reads:
“We sincerely apologize to the organizers, Balmoral Group, the entire event team, our fans, friends, family, and everyone who came out to support Portable at tonight’s celebrity boxing event.
“We understand the disappointment caused by the outcome of the fight and by Portable’s decision to step away after the first round. While emotions can run high in moments like these, we respectfully ask everyone to respect his decision and perspective.
“On behalf of Portable’s management, we take full responsibility for the disappointment this may have caused. We remain grateful for the unwavering love and support shown to him throughout this journey.
“We appreciate Balmoral Group and everyone involved for putting together a great event, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
“We have taken note of the feedback, and we are committed to learning from this experience. We promise to come back stronger and do better next time.
“Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and belief in Portable.”
The apology came after the controversial singer left the ring during the opening round of the “Unfinished Business” clash at the Chaos in the Ring event in Lagos.
Although he later returned, officials ruled that he had abandoned the fight and declared Charles Okocha the winner.
