Power Slap has not been around for long, but already some fighters have established themselves as icons of the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

From its humble beginnings in 2022 to the world-famous promotion we see before us today, Power Slap has provided a stage for some athletes to grab worldwide attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that in mind, NetBet has decided to take a look at five of the most legendary figures to have graced the hostile arena.<\/span><\/p>\n

And do not forget, Power Slap 10 will take place later this week in Las Vegas, with title fights aplenty!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, if you are a new NetBet<\/a> customer and are looking to place a Power Slap bet<\/a>, make sure to take advantage of our magnificent Welcome Offer<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin looking at those icons\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Layne \u2018Koa\u2019 Viernes<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nicknamed \u2018Da Crazy Hawaiian\u2019, perhaps no one has been quite as dominant in Power Slap as the legendary Viernes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently the Super Heavyweight champion, a belt he has held since October 2023, the man is a slap-fighting icon who delivers devastating blows for fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Viernes\u2019 victory over Vasilii Kamotskii at Power Slap 9 was his 14th triumph overall in the promotion and his second successful title defence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will anyone be able to dethrone him in the near future?<\/span><\/p>\n

Damien Dibbell<\/b><\/h2>\n

When discussing dominant champions, Dibbell simply has to feature in the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the age of just 22, he is already a Power Slap icon and has the potential to get even better in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dibbell has five Power Slap wins to his name and is the current Heavyweight king, defending the belt on two occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can he make it a third successful defence against Dorian Perez at Power Slap 10?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ron Bata<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another man who has made a habit of winning in Power Slap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Viernes, the iconic figure that is Bata has claimed 14 wins and is the reigning Light Heavyweight champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, he has suffered five defeats during his time in Power Slap, but there is no denying his importance to the promotion\u2019s rapid growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wolverine has also delivered five knockouts – and we cannot wait to see him back in action!<\/span><\/p>\n

John Davis<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first of our icons who is not a current champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Davis still undoubtedly possesses icon status in the exciting world of Power Slap regardless of that fact.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was the Middleweight king for close to two years, successfully defending the belt and Power Slap 2 and Power Slap 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Davis surrendered the strap at Power Slap 9 in a defeat to Isiah Quinones, but we reckon he will be back with a vengeance in the near future!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anthony Blackburn<\/b><\/h2>\n

And so we end with the current top dog in the Welterweight division.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hugely entertaining Blackburn is yet to lose in the Power Slap arena, tallying four wins and a draw in his five contests.<\/span><\/p>\n

He claimed the Welterweight belt with an epic success over Emanuel Muniz at Power Slap 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two will meet again in a rematch at Power Slap 10 and if Blackburn emerges victorious, his legendary status will never be questioned again. To be honest, it should not be anyway!<\/span><\/p>\n
