After much controversy and drama, Logan Paul defeated Dillon Danis on 14 October at Machester Arena. The main event, KSI vs Tommy Fury also had Slim Albaher defeating Salt Papi in the undercard. The co-main event generated tremendous hype owing to the X trolling and lawsuit fiasco between Danis and Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal. KSI and Fury had also caught up with the two in hurling slurs and spitting (quite literally) at each other by the time the fight drew closer.
Recently, Albaher revealed his interest in taking on the elder Paul brother. Is it probable that fans will see the two victors from the Misfits event battling it out on the canvas soon?

Albaher posted a video on his Instagram with clips of him and Paul, posing the question “how does this fight go?”. Paul was quick to reach the comments section to call him a noodle in response. “you’re a noodle, fam” said Paul, disregarding his skills and prowess. However, it is unclear whether the two will meet each other inside the ring to give fans a big showdown. We remain hopeful regardless.

In 2012, Albaher embarked on his social media journey, gradually amassing a dedicated following that has now reached an impressive 600,000. However, in 2019, he made a conscious decision to step away from the YouTube spotlight, redirecting his energy towards his passion for boxing. As a light heavyweight, he has already participated in six fights, emerging victorious in each one and showcasing his skills with four knock-outs. Let us take a look at Albaher’s last fight.

In a thrilling showdown at Manchester’s Misfits Boxing event, Albaher emerged victorious, knocking out Papi to claim the coveted Misfits Boxing middleweight title. The highly anticipated bout, dubbed “The People’s Main Event,” took center stage on Misfits’ grand Prime Card. Despite Salt Papi’s improved physical condition after a previous loss to Anthony Taylor in May, he suffered a devastating loss. Salt showcased his skills for two impressive rounds but was caught and dropped in the fourth, signaling a turning point.
Although he managed to get back on his feet, Slim continued the onslaught. Referee Rafael Ramos intervened, stopping the fight with Papi still standing but clearly unable to continue. Reflecting on the intense match, Slim acknowledged Salt Papi’s performance, giving credit where it was due. “What a fight, man. I gave him his props; he pushed me. I took this fight as an underdog,” Slim remarked. Despite Salt’s strong start, Slim’s strategic approach, particularly with his potent right-hand sniper, proved decisive.
