Speed Darlington Wants Boxing Match With Burna Boy Over Longstanding Dispute

Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has said he would welcome a boxing match with Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, describing the proposed fight as an opportunity to confront their longstanding dispute.

Darlington made the comments during an interview with Nevon Media while discussing his planned October 1 boxing bout against skit maker Carter Efe.

The rapper said his grievance with Burna Boy was connected to his previous detention, adding that he hoped a fight between them could eventually be organised after his bout with Carter Efe.

Darlington described a potential showdown with Burna Boy as a major personal highlight and said it would give him an opportunity to release the anger he has carried since the incident.

He also made it clear that he does not expect a boxing match to resolve their differences completely. According to Darlington, their rivalry would continue even after the two men leave the ring.

His comments come as attention remains focused on his proposed October 1 fight with Carter Efe. The event is expected to add a boxing dimension to a series of public exchanges involving the rapper and the comedian.

Darlington has previously spoken publicly about his dispute with Burna Boy, while the latest comments suggest he sees a boxing match as another way of confronting the disagreement.

For now, however, there is no indication that a fight between Darlington and Burna Boy has been officially arranged. His immediate focus remains the proposed bout with Carter Efe.
