Nigerian content creator Carter Efe has vowed to beat entertainer Speed Darlington when they meet in the ring on October 1, citing Speed’s comments about singer Burna Boy as one of the reasons for his determination.
Carter made the statement during a heated face-off with Speed ahead of their celebrity boxing bout at the Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos.
In a video from the encounter, Speed Darlington was heard telling Carter, “Na beating I go use beat you.”
Carter responded by questioning why Speed was staying close to a bouncer and challenged him to face him without security.
“Why you dey run follow bouncer? Make bouncer leave the two of us. I wan show you say I be 24-year-old boy,” Carter said.
Speaking to Hip TV ahead of the fight, Carter also claimed that Speed Darlington would not be able to expose him.
“Speed Darlington can never expose me. I’m the one with people’s secrets,” he said.
Carter then explained why Speed’s alleged comment about Burna Boy had become part of his motivation for the fight.
“The major reason I want to beat Speed Darlington is because he called Burna Boy gay. How can he be saying it to a big artiste like that? If I don’t stop him, he’ll say it to Davido too,” Carter said.
The content creator said he wants more than a victory, adding, “I want to beat Speed to embarrassment.”
The bout, tagged ‘Chaos in the Ring’, is scheduled for October 1.
