Headlining Power Slap 7 will be a clash between Heavyweight Champion Damien “The Bell” Dibbell (5-1, 3 KOs) and #1 Heavyweight contender, Ryan “The King of Kings” Phillips (2-2, 1 KO). Undeafeated in Power Slap and one of the sport’s most dominant stars, The Bell comes into this match with knockout wins over #2 ranked Heavyweight Duane Crespo, and #3 ranked Heavyweight Nate Burnard.
The 22-year old Dibbell also has a five-round decision victory over slap fighting pioneer and current Light Heavyweight champion, Wolverine, at Power Slap 2, where he won the Heavyweight Title. Phillips headlined Power Slap’s March 2022 Qualifier event, and comes into this match on a two fight win streak, with wins over #8 Darius “The Destroyer” Mata-Varona & Burnard.
In the co-main event, a grudge match between Light Heavyweight Champion Ron “Wolverine” Bata (14-4) and #1 Light Heavyweight contender Austin “Turp Daddy Slim” Turpin (4-1, 3 KOs). Wolverine and Turpin went slap-for-slap in a 5-round classic at Power Slap 5, with Wolverine successfully defending his belt. Wolverine now seeks his second title defense against Turpin.
