Celebrity bouncer and former Kizz Daniel bodyguard Kelvin Power has come clean about his widely publicized boxing match with controversial singer Portable, confirming it was not a legitimate fight but a staged promotional stunt designed to generate massive online buzz.

In a recent interview, Kelvin Power explained that both he and Portable were fully aware of the arrangement before stepping into the ring. The match, which went viral after Portable appeared to knock him down, was orchestrated purely as an advertisement to attract attention and drive engagement on social media.

“Portable didn’t beat me, we were both paid for an advert,” Kelvin Power stated. He added that the outcome was deliberately scripted to maximise publicity noting that if he had knocked Portable out, the event might not have generated the same level of conversation and virality.

The revelation has reframed the entire spectacle, which many initially viewed as a real grudge match. Instead, it now appears to have been a carefully planned marketing strategy aimed at boosting both artists’ visibility and online presence.
