“I Don’t Think This Is Even Fair”: Fans Call Out Salt Papi After He Challenges Slim to Fight at “170-175 lbs”

Salt Papi is looking to get back in the ring and wants it to be against Slim. The YouTuber-cum-boxer last fought in May in the undercard in, ‘MISFITS 007,’  against Anthony Taylor. Papi was defeated for the first time in the boxing ring after Taylor secured a unanimous victory. However, his recent defeat may not jeopardize his career in the realm of YouTube boxing. The Southpaw fighter is widely regarded as one of the best influencer boxers out there. He is keen on fighting another notable influencer boxer, Slim. 

Slim has been around the sport for a substantial amount of time. He boasts an undefeated record of six victories and four knockouts, giving him a 66% knockout ratio. However, the obstacle for the bout to come to fruition is the weight disparity. Papi has fought at around 180 lbs and Slim, on the other hand, weighed in at 169 lbs in his last bout. But Papi has an advance to, ‘meet in the middle,” while calling him out for a bout. This potential bout is a blockbuster matchup in the realm of YouTube boxing given their name and fame.
