The highly anticipated fight in Qatar between Salt Papi and King Kenny had fans buzzing. Both stars had experienced losses in the past, but their popularity never wavered, making this showdown one of the most exciting on the celebrity boxing scene.
Kenny, the taller and stronger of the two, used his jab effectively early on, with his brother Daley Perales coaching him from the corner. However, Salt Papi stayed focused, found his groove, and began landing key punches, ultimately taking control of the fight.
Before the fight, the two teams were confused about how many rounds they would fight. Kenny thought it was six rounds, but Salt Papi thought it was only five. But they didn’t need all the rounds.

Kenny tried to get up, but when the referee asked him to walk, he wobbled and couldn’t do it. So, the fight was stopped! It was a big win for Salt Papi, who now has three wins in a row.

Other videos seemed to show it was just a punch, with the glove landing first before the elbow. But it still made a lot of people upset on X, and many thought Salt Papi and King Kenny should have a rematch because of the confusion.
Glove made contact first and knocked him out. Elbow grazed his forehead from forward momentum. Elbow didn’t cause the knockout.
Cry more man talked all the hot shit and you try and claim that he popped him with his hand on his nose either way he never touched papi he was going down too.. who’s the pussy now
Anyone saying that isn’t an elbow, knows nothing about boxing. That punch barely even grazed the nose.
The situation caused a lot of mixed feelings, with some people saying the different camera angles gave a better view of what happened.
King Kenny also spoke up after the fight. Even though they were respectful to each other in the ring, it seemed like things got a little more tense when he saw what happened online.
