In a world where boxing news typically centers on punches and title bouts, a curveball landed. Fresh from a Manchester ring, bearing the sheen of a recent win, Slim Albaher made an unexpected swerve. Instead of reveling in post-match euphoria, he threw a punch of a different kind: an announcement. ‘Hitman Promotions’ – the name rolled off tongues and into debates. An unusual move? Perhaps. A strategic leap? Definitely.

While the boxing world is accustomed to athletes launching fashion lines or endorsing energy drinks, a promotional venture is less charted territory. Especially for one just coming off a high-stakes match. Most would expect a break, a holiday, or perhaps a lavish party. Not Slim. The man decided to shuffle the deck.

Following his remarkable victory over Salt Papi in Manchester, Slim Albaher’s star seemed to be on a meteoric rise. The bout, which witnessed a thrilling display of skill and strategy, culminated in Slim asserting his dominance, stopping Salt Papi in the much-talked-about fourth round. Given this backdrop, when the news of his newest venture ‘Hitman Promotions’ emerged, it was bound to create ripples in the boxing community.

Transitioning from reactions related to his in-ring achievements to those about his business endeavor, a range of opinions emerged. Firstly, one fan’s reaction indicated a belief that Slim’s strengths lie within the Misfits platform, doubting the fighter’s ability to attract a large audience independently.

This sentiment dovetailed with another fan’s perspective, who, reflecting on past promotional attempts that didn’t pan out. Anticipated a potential reunion between Slim and Misfits in the future.

Offering a slightly different take, another fan hinted at a potential synergy. He suggested that Slim could merge his energies with other promotions, notably pointing to one by Astrid Wett.

Yet, optimism wasn’t the dominant tone. Another user straightforwardly predicted a downfall for ‘Hitman Promotions’.

Similarly, another user’s comment painted a picture of a looming realization for Slim about the actual size of his fanbase.

The diverse reactions highlight the uncertainty that surrounds Slim Albaher’s step into the promotional arena. While his prowess in the boxing ring remains undeniable, the verdict is still out on his success as a promoter.
