Controversial singer Portable has intensified his war of words against Carter Efe. The celebrity boxing clash is scheduled for May 1 at Lagos’ Federal Palace Hotel. In a viral video, Portable mocked Carter Efe’s training partner, Small Doctor, relentlessly. He claimed to have defeated Small Doctor at businessman Abu Abel’s residence.
