A trim and toned Salt Papi made waves as he showed off his new frame at Friday's weigh-in ahead of MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card, which will be shown live on DAZN & DAZN PPV on Saturday.
Salt Papi will be facing Slim Albaher for the vacant Misfits middleweight title on the undercard of the hugely anticipated KSI vs. Tommy Fury bout, requiring the Philippines-born crossover boxer to lose over 20 pounds.
If some were skeptical off his ability to drop so much weight just a few months removed from his last bout, in which he fought at 183 pounds, Salt Papi put those doubts firmly to rest as he preened on the stage for the weigh-in.
Even his opponent was impressed, with Albaher commenting on Salt Papi's physique during the stare down and later calling him an "inspiration to a lot of people worldwide."
However, the undefeated Albaher still fancies himself against the slimmed-down Salt Papi in Saturday's fight.
"Thank God this ain't a bodybuilding contest," Albaher told Ariel Helwani during the broadcast.
"If boxing was a bodybuilding contest I would've lost six times in a row, I won every single fight.
"Everybody I fought looked better than me when it came to physique, but s— this ain't a boldybuilding contest, this is a boxing match."
