MISFITS BOXING rivals AnEsonGib and Slim Albaher got their hand on each other early during a chaotic weigh-in.
The pair headline in Qatar tomorrow night on DAZN PPV after years of bitter feuding.
And tempers threatened to boil over just 24 hours from fight night as they came face-to-face for the final time.
AnEsonGib – real name Ali Loui Al-Fakri and nicknamed Gib – shoved American Slim sparking security to get between the pair.
But when they were brought back eye-to-eye once more it was Slim this time who aimed a slap Gib’s way causing yet more carnage on stage.
Slim, 28, is a middleweight champion of Misfits, which is co-founded by YouTube superstar KSI as a home to celebrity-style crossover bouts.

Gib branded the 7-0 unbeaten New Yorker “skinny” but Slim hit back: “That’s what the last seven guys said and they all ended up knocked out.
“He will end up knocked out tomorrow night, I promise you that. That dude is too slow, he’s got no reflexes, he’s got no balance.
“He’s going to find out what real skill is tomorrow night. Boxing is not a bodybuilding competition.”
Gib, 28, said: “My body is built for war it’s built for fighting and that’s from reps in the gym.

“I manoeuvred his neck, I saw him tweak, his slap was weak and we’re ready to dust him off tomorrow night.”
Gib is 6-1 in the ring with his only loss coming against Jake Paul, 27, in 2020 with all wins since.
And in a shock twist, KSI has backed Slim to DEFEAT his former friend Gib after built up tension has risen to the surface.
KSI, 31, told SunSport: “Me and Gib aren’t cool, we’re not friends.
“And he wants to take down Misfits. I don’t care for him. I want slim to knock him out. Slim is a company man, that’s it. Simple as that.
“I’m just trying to be as real as I can be. And people call me two-faced, I see online people calling me two-faced saying like I’m a backstabber this, this that.
“Whatever man, I don’t really care I’m just being true to myself. So yeah, f*** Gib and Slim let’s go!”
