Controversial singer Speed Darlington has been spotted training hard at the gym as he prepares for his much-anticipated celebrity boxing match against Portable on April 18.
The showdown was set in motion after a heated online clash over a show fee, with Portable blasting Speed Darlington for offering him ₦500K, an amount he deemed too small. Now, both artists are gearing up for the face-off, and Speed Darlington isn’t leaving anything to chance.
A viral video shows Akpi receiving boxing lessons, working on his punching technique with a heavy bag. However, fans are already doubting his chances against Portable, who has been showing more aggression and fitness in his own training sessions.
