Slap Fighting:

Power Slap: Road to the Title, which aired on TBS in January, followed 30 Power Slap contestants over eight episodes as they competed to be in the league’s first title fight—and has raised the sport’s profile as well as drawn criticism.

Slap fighting is often criticized for being unsafe and has caused at least one death—Polish slap fighter Artur Walczack suffered a brain bleed during a match and died of multiple organ failure in November 2021.

White calls slap fighting critics “morons” and claims the event is safer than boxing, the New York Times reports, arguing boxers take hundreds of hits per match, while slap fighters usually take between three to five.
