The preliminary card features nine matches featuring top slap fighters from “Power Slap: Road to the Title.” Winners of the Power Slap coin toss for each match – which determines who will strike first – will be announced Tuesday, March 7.

Headlining the inaugural Power Slap event will be a heavyweight title match between “Darius the Destroyer” (No. 1 heavyweight; 17-0, 3 KOs) vs. “Wolverine” (No. 2 heavyweight, 11-3, 4 KOs). 

An undefeated 22-year-old phenom who has taken the sport by storm, “Darius the Destroyer” became a viral sensation after his 27-round battle with “Wolverine” in 2021 became widely considered the greatest slap matchup of all time. “Wolverine,” known for his trademark beard and knockout power, will attempt to avenge the only losses of his career, which have come at the hands of “Darius the Destroyer.”

Featured as opposing coaches on “Power Slap: Road to the Title,” the two top heavyweights have trained the future stars of slap fighting as they prepared for their epic rematch on March 11.

The co-main event will feature a battle between No. 1-ranked light heavyweight Vernon “The Mechanic” Cathey (2-0, 2 KOs) vs. No. 2-ranked light heavyweight Ayjay “Static” Hintz (3-1, 3 KOs). Also on the main card is the middleweight title match between John “The Machine” Davis (3-1, 1 KO, No. 1-ranked middleweight) and undefeated Azael “El Perro” Rodriguez (3-0, No. 2-ranked middleweight). The fourth title match pits knockout artist and No. 1 ranked welterweight Christapher “KO Chris” Thomas (4-0, 4 KOs) against up-and-comer No. 3-ranked Jesus Gaspar Diaz (1-2).
