A man has been left seriously disfigured after participating in a brutal slapping championship match.

For those of unaware of what a slapping match it really is what it says on the tin: two people slap each other in the face until one is determined the winner.

As with any sport of this nature, things can get competitive, and with €5000 (£4400) going to the winner, it was exactly that.

The RXF Slap Fighting Championship isn’t for the faint-hearted and you must have nerves of steal to win. Comsa Sorin was so determined to win, but it came at a cost.

Sorin did go on to win the tournament but had to endure 20 minutes of brutal slaps to the face before he lifted the title (deservedly so).

With each slap, Sorin’s face began to swell more and more however instead of throwing in the towel, continued to take the full force of each hit.

His perseverance was enough as he delivered the fatal, final slap which forced his opponent to call it quits and allow Sorin to take the glory.

Although many were left impressed by his determination, including Conor McGregor who praised his ‘absolutely gorgeous technique’, others were concerned.

Many were worried about the future health implications that could occur further on life, with one person describing it as ‘madness’ that would ‘lead to concussion’.

Some viewers even felt inspired by what they had seen and and expressed their interest in signing up to a slapping competition themselves.
