The main event of Power Slap 9 will feature a high-profile clash between slap fighting legends. Reigning Power Slap Super Heavyweight Champion, Da Crazy Hawaiian (15-1, 13 KOs), will defend his title against the No. 1 ranked Super Heavyweight, Vasilii "Dumpling" Kamotskii (1-0, 1 KO). Da Crazy Hawaiian recently defended his title for the second time against top-ranked Danie Van Heerden at Power Slap 8 in Las Vegas. Kamotskii, who inspired White to venture into the sport, aims to replicate his first-round knockout from his Power Slap debut.

Power Slap 9 will be available live and free worldwide on Rumble. Fans can watch on desktop, mobile, and various streaming devices, including iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Google TV, Samsung TV, and LG TV, at rumble.com.
