Fresh off his victory over controversial singer Portable, Nollywood actor Charles Okocha is already eyeing his next fight, and he has a very specific target in mind.
Speaking to the media after his win, Okocha named content creator and skit maker Carter Efe as the opponent he wants next, making it clear he has no reservations about stepping into the ring with him.

Speaking in the video circulating online, Charles Okocha said:
“I don’t care if it’s Carter Efe and all that. I wish I could because I wanna beat the living hell out of that kid. Like Yo, I am not scared; bring it on,” he said.
The victory that sparked the callout came on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The bout, dubbed “Unfinished Business,” was a rematch born out of a long-running dispute over their first encounter, which had originally been ruled in Portable’s favour, a result Charles Okocha never accepted.
During the second meeting, Portable appeared competitive before the fight broke down into a chaotic brawl that the referee could not control.
Security personnel and bodyguards were forced to intervene after the bell closed the opening round.
When Portable returned to the ring, officials handed Okocha the win by disqualification.
Notably, Portable had already tasted defeat in celebrity boxing earlier in 2026, losing to Carter Efe in a previous bout.
That history likely adds fuel to Okocha’s motivation for targeting Efe as his next opponent.
