The self-styled “Zazuu” star made the call-out via Instagram after losing by unanimous decision to Carter Efe at the widely publicised Chaos in the Ring.
The Portable DJ Dimple fight challenge has quickly gained traction online, with reactions sharply divided between supporters and critics.
Some fans have rallied behind DJ Dimple Nipple, pointing to her visibly rigorous training regime and growing confidence in recent weeks.
The DJ has shared multiple videos of sparring sessions and workouts, drawing praise for her speed, strength, and aggressive style.
Others, however, argue that Portable’s prior ring experience could offer him a competitive advantage despite his recent loss.
The proposed matchup has also triggered wider concerns about the appropriateness of a male artist facing a female opponent in a regulated contest.
Critics have questioned whether such a bout aligns with standard sporting ethics, while others see it as part of the evolving spectacle of celebrity boxing in Nigeria.
Media personality Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, popularly known as Do2dtun, weighed in with a cautionary remark.
“If you are close to Portable, advise him not to fight DJ Dimples. She’s got hands,” he said.
Despite the backlash, Portable has shown no sign of backing down. Known for his outspoken persona and relentless publicity drive, the singer appears determined to stage a swift and attention-grabbing comeback.
The unfolding saga underscores the growing popularity of celebrity boxing in Nigeria, where entertainment, rivalry, and social media engagement increasingly converge into high-profile events.
