"While My Wife Was In Labour, I Was Fighting, She Gave Birth To A Boy–Portable

According to a report by Punch on May 2, 2026, Afrobeats artiste Portable has announced the birth of a baby boy with his wife, Omobewaji Ewatomi, shortly after participating in a celebrity boxing match in Lagos.

The announcement came on the same day Portable featured in a high-profile bout against skit maker Carter Efe at an event tagged “Chaos in the Ring 4,” held at Balmoral Hall. 

The entertainment-driven boxing event drew attention from fans, as it showcased popular entertainers stepping into the ring for exhibition fights.

Portable later revealed via his social media page that his wife had given birth to a baby boy, named Jamal Iremide, just hours after the match. 

The fight itself ended with Carter Efe emerging victorious by unanimous decision, a result that sparked mixed reactions among viewers.

Reacting to the outcome, Portable expressed dissatisfaction with the judges’ decision, suggesting that the process may not have been entirely fair. 

However, he emphasized that the birth of his child was far more meaningful than any trophy or belt. According to him, while material rewards can be influenced, the arrival of a child is priceless.

Omobewaji Ewatomi also confirmed the birth, expressing gratitude and joy over the safe delivery. She described the newborn as a blessing, sharing the news with followers on her social media platform.

Portable explained that while his wife was in labour, he was actively participating in the boxing contest, highlighting the emotional contrast between both moments. 

He noted that he had hoped to secure a third belt, having previously won two similar matches, but the loss shifted his focus to celebrating his growing family.

The event reflects a growing trend in Nigeria’s entertainment scene, where celebrities engage in exhibition boxing matches for publicity and fan engagement. Despite the competitive nature of the bout, the birth of Portable’s son ultimately became the highlight of his day.
