Portable’s fight proposal to DJ Dimple, comes days after Portable’s unanimous decision loss to Carter Efe in the widely publicised “Chaos in the Ring” bout, as the singer moves swiftly to regain momentum with another high-profile contest.
Portable made the call-out via his Instagram page, triggering intense reactions online, where fans and critics remain divided over the proposed matchup between a male artist and a female opponent.
Supporters of DJ Dimple Nipple point to her visible training regime, including recent sparring sessions and workout clips, as evidence of her readiness.
Many have praised her speed, strength, and aggressive approach, suggesting she could pose a serious test if the fight proceeds.
However, the development has also raised concerns, with critics questioning the appropriateness of such a bout within a regulated setting.
Others argue that the spectacle reflects the evolving nature of celebrity boxing in Nigeria, where entertainment value often drives public interest.
Media personality Do2dtun weighed in on the situation, warning that Portable may be underestimating his potential opponent.
“If you are close to Portable, advise him not to fight DJ Dimples. She’s got hands,” he said.
Despite the caution, Portable appears undeterred, maintaining his characteristic bold stance as he seeks a swift comeback after his recent loss.
