Salt Papi – whose real name is Nathaniel Bustamante – has undergone dramatic weight loss
The 29-year-old weighed 210lbs in 2022 but he has since lost roughly 50lbs for his fight
But for the 29-year-old Salt Papi it has been a remarkable body transformation journey.
In 2022 Salt Papi, who is from the Phillipines, weighed 210lbs but he accepted a boxing debut against comedian Halal Ham.
After impressing with his skills, he then lost around 30lbs for his next fight against fellow internet celebrity Andy Warski who he knocked out.
After winning his next fight against MMA veteran Josh Brueckner, he suffered a shock defeat against Anthony Taylor which inspired him to lose another 20lbs for his latest fight against Slim, arguably his toughest challenger yet.
The 29-year-old has since won six consecutive bouts against the likes of musician Tom Zanetti.
Salt Papi will be hoping to impress after boxing promoter Eddie Hearn previously called for him to turn professional.
The fight will be broadcast live on DAZN, with coverage starting at 7pm. A subscription to DAZN currently costs from £9.99 per month in the UK.
Saturday’s action is priced at £19.99 in the UK. Mail Sport will also be covering the fight live, so you can keep up-to-date with us.
