Controversial singer Speed Darlington has called for a rematch with fellow artiste Portable after suffering a technical knockout (TKO) defeat in their much-hyped celebrity boxing match on Friday night.

The fight, which generated massive buzz on social media, ended in the second round after Darlington failed to rise, prompting the referee to declare Portable the winner.

The bout opened with an intense first round, where Portable dominated with aggressive punches and relentless energy.

By the second round, Speed Darlington appeared overwhelmed, eventually losing his footing and collapsing in the ring.

Okay.ng reports that shortly after the match, Darlington posted a video on Instagram, accusing Portable of having an unfair advantage due to his “street-honed fighting background.”

“It’s so unfair. I have never been in a ring before because I did not come from poverty. I never needed to learn how to fight. We didn’t need to snatch food from people, so I didn’t need to learn how to fight – that’s why it looks like I don’t know how to fight,” he said.

Despite the loss, Darlington insisted on a second chance, expressing his desire to prove himself after proper training.

“But now, I’m a man and I feel like it’s important for a man to know how to throw a fist. So now, I’m going in and I need a rematch. You do not deserve that money. Give me two months and 15 training sessions, and I’ll be ready. That prize money should be mine,” he added.
