Popular singer, Speed Darlington, has been spotted training intensively at a gym in preparation for his upcoming boxing match with fellow artist Portable. The match, a highly anticipated celebrity showdown, is scheduled for April 18.
The two musicians are set to face off in a boxing ring after a public clash over a show fee. Portable had criticized Speed Darlington for offering to pay him a N500K fee, which he deemed too low. This disagreement sparked the idea of a boxing match between the two as a way to settle their differences.
In a trending video, Speed Darlington is seen receiving professional training at the gym, where he is being coached to throw punches effectively at a punching bag. The video showcases his commitment to preparing for the showdown, with the artist taking the match seriously as he gears up for the 18th April event.
