The Misfits Boxing 19 event was headlined by an exciting AnEnsonGib vs. Slim Albaher fight for the MFB middleweight title. AnEnsonGib ultimately won the fight via majority decision. The card also saw KSI's brother Deji defeat Dawood Savage via third-round knockout.


When Salt Papi opened up about having to fight blind before eye surgery

Earlier this month, Salt Papi opened up about the challenges he faced on his boxing journey and outlined how a LASIK eye procedure last year changed the way he saw his opponents. In an interview with The Sun, the TikTok superstar outlined seeing a "statue" every time he was in the ring facing his opponents. He said:

"I could only see a statue. I couldn't see their facial expressions. Just a statue, I had to hit whatever I could hit. I kind've got used to it. But it's much better now, I can see my opponent's facial expressions. If they're tired, if they're scared." [H/t: The Sun]

Papi has stepped inside the squared circle eight times and has garnered an impressive 6-2 record, with five of his wins coming via knockout. Before his recent outing against King Kenny, Papi defeated Dawood Savage earlier this year via first-round knockout.
