Salt Papi looked hugely confident in victory over Josh Brueckner, as he scored a stunning one-punch knockout victory.
The TikTok star has received huge praise for his skills in his past few fights and he showed exactly why on the undercard of KSI vs Faze Temperrr.
In the first round, despite being the considerably smaller man, Salt Papi did not looked fazed in the slightest, as he showboated throughout, smiling and shaking his head at all of Brueckner’s punches.
In the second round, Salt Papi showed his hand speed, as he landed a clean counter left hand that sent Brueckner crashing to the canvas and he was unable to get back to his feet.
This was a similar ending to his last fight, when Salt Papi beat Andy Warski by knockout and he impressed Chris Eubank Jr who was on commentary for the fight.
“When I was watching him licking his lips in front of his opponent before the fight, I was like, ‘This kid’s got something’.” Eubank Jr said at the time.
“It became very clear early on with the foot movement, the in-and-out, that he’s been practicing his footwork. And then he hit him with the two-piece combo and the guy went to sleep, incredible.
“If you look at him, he looks like he works a nine-to-five at a cheese factory.
“So, to see him come out there, moonwalk, dance, lick his lips and then knock a guy out, that’s box office right there.”
In his post-fight interview, Salt Papi said that he was willing to fight Jake Paul if KSI didn’t want to.
This was backed up by Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, who tweeted: “Salt Papi vs. Jake Paul I need it.”
Jake Paul quickly responded by tweeting: “I’d f*** Salt Papi.”
With that being said, another option for Salt Papi is British social media star, King Kenny, as the pair confronted each other after the fight.
