I've compared their spot pattern and no, the giant male in the video with the boar and the 75 kg male aren't the same animal

75 kg male :

I've identified an enormous rosette on its back, which has on the left two smaller rosettes that are literally close to it. 
Near the belly, close to the hind limbs there's a big dot, not a rosette. Like a cheetah dot. And to our left, near the dot there are two rosettes.

Video male

He completely lacks the cheetah like dot and those small rosettes close to it.
There is a huge rosette on its waist, but it isn't as close to the shoulders as that of the 75 kg male and it looks completely different. To note that from right to left after the big rosette there's immediately another large rosette, whereas in the 75 kg male after the big rosette there were two very small ones

We are 100% confirmed that the male in the video is not the 75 kg . I'm unmatched in identifying leopards with this method and if I tell you that's not the same male, it's not. Reply
