What is Salt Papi's boxing record?

Social Media star Nathaniel Bustamante, better known as Salt Papi, holds an exhibition boxing record of 3-1.

Kicking off his fight career with a unanimous win over Hamad Khan on the Deji vs. Wassabi fight card in 2022, the 29-year-old then continued his stellar form, securing back-to-back stoppages in his next two outings against Andy Warski and Josh Brueckner, respectively.

In his most recent fight at MF & DAZN X Series 7, Bustamante suffered the first career loss against the vastly experienced Anthony Taylor, who holds a pro boxing record of 2-3 and an MMA record of 7-5.

Papi is widely regarded as one of the best influencer boxers right now and has even tried calling out vastly superior opposition, including Tommy Fury.

The influencer boxer boasts almost 800k followers on Instagram and over half a million subscribers on YouTube.
