Speed Darlington reportedly stated, “I challenge Burna Boy to fight me. I will drop a huge sum just to fight him. I want to fight him. I will beat him. He’s all hype. He can’t beat me. Just because some people like his music doesn’t mean he can beat me. I am challenging him.”
This challenge follows another boxing incident involving Speed Darlington and singer Portable that occurred a few months prior. Portable claimed that he received N20 million from Burna Boy after defeating Speed Darlington in a boxing match.
The rivalry has intensifying as Speed Darlington previously mocked Burna Boy and made allegations regarding the singer’s Grammy win and his relationship with American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
