SALT PAPI has undergone a dramatic body transformation ahead of his return to the ring this weekend.
The Filipino phenom will be back in action on Saturday night on the undercard of KSI’s Manchester melee with Tommy Fury.
Papi – real name Nathaniel Bustamante – is set to throw down with fellow social media sensation Slim Albaher.
The 29-year-old goes into the fight on the back of a defeat to former Bellator MMA fighter Anthony Taylor in May.
But he’ll step into the ring this weekend with a completely different physique to the one he had a mere five months ago.
He’s continued his incredible weight loss journey by dropping another 20lbs ahead of his 165lbs debut against Slim.

The pair had to be separated by security after getting into each other’s faces in the ring.
