Social Media influencer and streamer, Carter Efe has denied being compared to heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, claiming that his ring name is Carter Mayweather.
He made this revelation during his post-fight interview at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event on Friday night at the Federal Palace Hotel’s Balmoral Hall on Victoria Island in Lagos.
After Efe defeated musician Habeeb Okikiola, better known as “Portable“, a spectator yelled the heavyweight champion’s name at him.
“Who called me Anthony Joshua? My name is Carter Mayweather,” he said, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
The declaration came moments after he described the scale of his own transformation following the win.

“I am feeling like an international world star,” he said.
The comedian, who compared himself to one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time, Floyd Mayweather, supported the comparison with a commanding three-round performance that made the outcome clear.
“The battle was really simple. I had caused his face to expand by the first round. He was trembling in the second round. “He fell in the third round,” he remarked.
The fight was decided 27–30 in his favour by all three judges, depriving Portable of his title as the most famous boxer.
Efe, flushed with triumph, proclaimed himself a global celebrity and stated that he hoped to expand his boxing career outside of Nigeria.
“I just believed in God. If you believe in God, anything can happen. I want to try this again in an international way. I know we are going to get there one day,” he said.
Asked whether he would grant Portable a rematch, Efe was noncommittal.
“I will think about it. Let me go and rest first,” he said.
