Salt Papi discloses astonishing amount of weight he’s lost in jaw-dropping body transformation ahead of Slim Albaher fight on KSI vs Tommy Fury undercard

Salt Papi has told talkSPORT that he's lost close to five stone ahead of his fight this weekend.

The social media star and influencer boxer is set to face Slim Albaher in a highly anticipated showdown on the undercard of Misfits Boxing's Prime Card, headlined by KSI vs Tommy Fury and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis, on Saturday night in Manchester.

Salt Papi is looking to bounce back after suffering his first defeat last time out when he stepped up and was beaten by Anthony Taylor.

"I'm feeling very good and I'm ready to fight on Saturday night," the Filipino fighter said as he appeared on talkSPORT Breakfast on Wednesday.

"Most of the influences are scared to fight me, that's why I've been fighting professional fighters.

"That's why I lost.

"But this time on Saturday night I'm gonna be fighting another influencer, so we'll see how it goes."

Prior to the Taylor defeat, much was made of Salt Papi's physique.

The admittedly overweight 29-year-old was able to score impressive KOs despite his size.

However, after coming unstuck against Taylor, he's now spent several months losing weight and developing a true fighter's body.

"It's like wrestling, but it's real boxing, we actually put in the work," Salt Papi explained.

"I lost a lot of weight for this fight, about 30kg (4 stone 10lbs).

"I was quite overweight last year, but because of boxing I put in the work.

"I was like nearly over 100kg (15 stone 10lbs) last year. Now I'm nearly 70kg (11 stone).

"Boxing is all I do now, boxing saved my life."
