YouTube boxer KSI replaces comeback opponent due to 'neo-Nazi' tattoos

KSI has replaced his second opponent for his return to the ring next weekend after discovering Ivan Nikolov was an alleged white supremacist.

The YouTuber boxer will take on two fighters on one night when he makes his return to the ring after more than 1,000 days on the sidelines. He will take on rapper Swarmz, who himself replaced the injured Alex Wassabi, and Luis Alcaraz Pineda who replaces Nikolov.

Pineda has won two of his seven professional fights and has lost his last four. KSI, who also claimed he has sacked his matchmaker for drafting in Nikolov, said of his new opponent: "He hasn't lost as many times as Ivan, he's Mexican and he's younger as well. I know a lot of people were having a go at me because the other guy was in his forties."
