KSI opponent Swarmz looks flabby as rapper weighs in 20lb heavier than rival

Swarmz KSI Alex Wassabi Luis Pineda

Rapper Swarmz looked less than athletic when he weighed in for his boxing debut against KSI.

Swarmz - real name Brandon Scott - accepted the fight with YouTube star KSI at two weeks' notice after the Londoner's original foe Alex Wassabi pulled out after suffering concussion in training. Swarmz has never fought before and is not believed to have been in training in the event he was called up.

He will take on KSI in Saturday's opening fight of the night before KSI faces Mexican professional Luis Pineda in the final fight three hours later. And while KSI and Luis Pineda looked in shape as they weighed in at 180lb and 179lb respectively, Swarmz weighed 199lb, just one pound under the cruiserweight limit.
