Why is KSI not fighting Ivan Nikolov
Originally, KSI was to face Ivan Nikolov, a pro boxer, in the secondary main.
Pineda has replaced Nikolov, who was then retracted from the card.
Nikolov, 43 years old, was seen with neoNazi tattoos. This has caused fan fury.
On his stomach, a "white power" tattoo can be seen. On his left forearm is a tattoo that reads "Blood & Honour".
This is the name for a neo Nazi skinhead group that was formed in England in 1980.
Between the words is also a triskele symbol. This was the three-pointed swastika that was the logo of the group.
Nikolov also sports a Schutzstaffel logo at his right arm. This was the name of the police and military force belonging to the Nazi Party. They pledged loyalty to Adolf Hitler, Germany's exdictator.
Daniel Blenda Dos Santos pointed out his neo-Nazi tattoos after he beat him in April.
Dos Santos stated: "When I saw his tattoos that were racist, I wanted him to be hurt."
29-year-old KSI responded to the claims on his YouTube channel, and confirmed that Nikolov had been replaced because of his tattoos.
He stated that he was a white supremacist
"Ivan is not my opponent anymore. He was removed.
"The matchmaker was also fired for allowing it to happen." My new opponent is Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
