Fearless Energy Drink, the flagship energy drink brand of Rite Foods Limited, is set to power the much-anticipated “Chaos in the Ring” celebrity boxing event featuring popular singer Portable and actor and comedian Charles Okocha, scheduled for Friday, July 31, 2026, in Lagos.
The excitement surrounding the event intensified at a pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, July 29, as Portable, also known as Habeeb Okikiola, and Charles Okocha, popularly known as Mr Algorithm, came face-to-face in a tense stare-down. The encounter showcased the confidence and competitive spirit of both entertainers ahead of their highly anticipated rematch.
The rivalry between the two celebrities dates back to December 2023, when they previously met in the ring at Landmark Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos. During Wednesday’s face-off, Portable confidently referenced their previous encounter, while Okocha remained composed and vowed to put up a stronger challenge when they meet again.
The headline bout will take place at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, with entertainment personalities and boxing enthusiasts expected to witness the contest. The winner is set to receive a brand-new electric vehicle courtesy of EV Motors.
Other fighters scheduled to feature include Idowest and Mr Real, while Shiloh Defreitas of Great Britain, known as “Sugar Shy,” will face Ghana’s Eric “Kojo” Quarm. Nigerian fighters Rilwan Lawal and Yusuf Adeniji will also compete, alongside Nigeria’s Basit Adebayo and Tanzania’s Said Chino.
As headline energy drink sponsor, Fearless Energy Drink will bring its “I CAN, I AM” brand spirit to the event. The brand, known for its Fearless Classic and Fearless Red Berry variants, has positioned its sponsorship around boldness, courage, action and the determination to pursue success.
Speaking at the press conference, Brand Manager of Fearless Energy Drink at Rite Foods Limited, Olaniyi Aderuku, said the sponsorship reflects the brand’s connection with consumers and lifestyle experiences that promote courage and bold action.
He said Chaos in the Ring provides another platform for Fearless Energy Drink to showcase its revitalising brand experience while supporting contestants who are determined to give their best in the ring.
