Why did Alex Wassabi pull out of KSI fight?

Alex Wassabi pulled out of the KSI fight after a concussion scare.

The 32-year-old suffered the injury in his training camp for the bout.

Wassabi wrote on Instagram to confirm he was pulling out: “With all these rumours going around, there’s only two things that are true.

“I’ve recently suffered a serious injury and I will be back very soon.

“You don’t play with concussions. New fight date announcement on the way.”

Instead, KSI fights Swarmz and pro boxer Pineda in London.
