The highly anticipated rematch between Taiwo “Esehpo” Agbaje and Tope “TP Rock” Musa has been officially confirmed for July 31, 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The featherweight contest headlines a star-studded boxing event promoted by Balmoral Group Promotions and will see two of Nigeria’s respected fighters settle unfinished business nearly eight years after their first encounter.
Agbaje Seeks Repeat, Musa Eyes Revenge
The first meeting between Agbaje and Musa took place on October 14, 2018, with Agbaje claiming a unanimous decision victory after six rounds of action.
Since then, both fighters have evolved significantly in their careers. Agbaje has strengthened his reputation on the domestic and continental scene staying undefeated.
Musa on the other hand has continued to establish himself as one of Nigeria’s most experienced and resilient boxers.
With their rivalry reignited, the July showdown presents Musa with an opportunity to avenge his only defeat to Agbaje, while the former WBA Africa champion will be determined to prove that history can repeat itself.
The bout has been aptly branded as “Repeat or Revenge”, reflecting the stakes involved for both fighters.
Portable Returns to the Ring Against Charles Okocha
Adding celebrity appeal to the event is the much-publicized rematch between Nigerian street-pop sensation Portable and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha.
The pair first squared off in December 2023, when Portable secured victory after four rounds in a bout that attracted widespread media attention and social media engagement.
Now tagged “Unfinished Business,” the rematch offers Okocha a chance to settle scores while Portable looks to reaffirm his superiority inside the ring.
The Agbaje-Musa rematch promises high-level competition, while Portable’s return guarantees entertainment and heightened public interest, making the event one of the most anticipated boxing cards on the Nigerian sporting calendar.
As the countdown begins, boxing enthusiasts will be eager to discover whether Agbaje can once again overcome Musa or whether “TP Rock” will finally get his revenge.
Meanwhile, all eyes will also be on Portable and Charles Okocha as they prepare to renew one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrity rivalries.
