Slim Albaher faced a daunting task ahead of his boxing match with Salt Papi despite being an undefeated fighter, with most of his wins coming by way of knockout. However, Salt Papi was the more well-known boxer of the two and was believed by some to be among the most skilled influencer boxers in the sport.

However, things took a drastic turn towards the end of the third bout. Despite being the longer and taller fighter, Slim Albaher gradually adapted to the pocket boxing exchanges and began cracking his foe clean. In a moment that he might look back on with regret, Salt Papi opted to showboat instead of tightening up his defense.
