Celebrity Boxing: ‘I’d Rather Chew Grass Than Bite Portable’ — Charles Okocha Breaks Silence

Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has denied singer Portable’s claim that he bit him during their recent celebrity boxing rematch.

Speaking during an appearance on TVC Entertainment on Tuesday, Okocha dismissed the allegation, saying he would rather chew grass than bite the singer.

The two celebrities faced off at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos on Friday. Okocha was declared the winner after Portable was disqualified for breaking the rules by abandoning wrestling techniques for punches before walking out of the ring.

After the fight, Portable accused Okocha of biting him on the back and locking his neck during the contest. He also claimed he should never have agreed to participate in the match.

Responding to the allegation, Okocha said it would have been impossible for him to bite anyone because he wore a mouth guard throughout the fight.

He also insisted he had no reason to bite Portable.

Okocha said:

“Portable has been going around telling people I bit him on the back. I was wearing a mouth guard; how is that even possible? He was just lying.

“I would rather chew grass than bite him. I don’t want to catch rabies. Have you seen how Portable’s skin looks? Hell no, I wouldn’t do that. He should just accept defeat.”
