      Sam Hyde vs IAMTHMPSN
      Salt Papi vs Andy Warski
      Deen the Great vs Evil Hero
      KSI vs Swarmz

      Why is KSI not fighting Ivan Nikolov?
      Originally KSI was announced to fight pro boxer Ivan Nikolov as his boxing opponent in the secondary main event.
      But Nikolov has since been pulled from the card and replaced by Pineda.
      This is because Nikolov, 43, has been seen to have neo-Nazi tattoos, causing fan fury.
      A “white power” tattoo is seen on his stomach and on his left forearm, Nikolov has a tattoo of the words “Blood & Honour”.
      That is the name of a neo-Nazi skinhead group formed in England in the 1980s.
      Also in between the words is a triskele symbol, a three-pointed swastika which was the logo for the group.
      Nikolov also has a Schutzstaffel logo on his right arm, which was the police and military force of the Nazi Party, who pledged an oath of loyalty to Germany’s ex-dictator Adolf Hitler.
      His neo-Nazi tattoos were pointed out by one of his previous opponents, Daniel Blenda Dos Santos, who slammed the boxer after winning their fight in April.
      Dos Santos said: “When I saw his tattoos, some of them racist in nature, I wanted to hurt him.”
      KSI, 28, responded to the allegations on his YouTube channel and confirmed Nikolov was replaced due to his tattoos.
      He said: “He’s a white supremacist
      “Ivan isn’t my opponent anymore. He has been removed.
      “The matchmaker also got fired for allowing this to happen in the first place. But yes, my new opponent is Luis Alcaraz Pineda.”

      What has been said?
      “Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust,” KSI said after the announcement.
      “I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. If you wanna see, fine.
      “If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway. There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see.
      “We are the only YouTube boxing event happening this summer.
      “We’ve had many things try to disrupt this event but still we stand. This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a big W later.”
      Jake Paul, however, has had a few things to say about the fight.
      “KSI vs Swampz… Dod’t they have music together?” he wrote on Twitter.
      “He’s fighting someone who has never fought before and that is his friend…
      “This fight should for free.” More

      Heavyweight boxing fans are braced for an epic unification announcement after Usyk defended his belts against AJ in Saudi Arabia.
      The man known as “The Cat” put in another dominant performance as he beat Joshua on a controversial split decision.
      And Usyk now has his sights set on WBC champion Fury – who will come out of retirement for another bout for the right price.
      A highly-anticipated fight is now being touted for December.

      But one man who feels it will not be a close affair is Wilder.
      The American fought Fury three times, drawing the first battle before losing the next two.
      And Wilder reckons “The Gypsy King”, who stands at 6ft 9in will simply be too big for 6ft 3in Usyk to handle.
      He also claims the Ukrainian has issues around stamina.

      And Wilder feels Joshua would have won back his belts on Saturday had his own fitness levels been better.
      Wilder declared: “I think Fury will be too big for him.
      “He just uses his size all the time, no matter what, and a lot of other things.
      “I think Usyk’s too small, that’s my opinion. I think he has a stamina problem as well.
      “You saw with Joshua, if he had enough stamina it would probably be a different result.” More

      Hearn, 43, has graciously admitted that AJ was deservedly beaten by Usyk… but he thought it was about to be stopped in his man’s favour in round nine.
      Speaking to Sky Sports Box office, Hearn said: “Firstly, what a performance from Oleksandr Usyk.
      “In the ninth round I ran over, I thought we had him.
      “The tenth round was one of the best rounds I’ve seen to turn the right, not back around because it was very close at that point, but what Usyk did in the tenth, 11th and 12th was incredible and that was the difference.

      “AJ didn’t start fast enough but he fought a much better fight. He hurt Usyk badly in the ninth and I thought he was going to come on strong, but Usyk came out like a train and, as I said, that tenth round was the moment he decided to regain the fight.
      “It was an incredible performance. He’s just too good, and there’s no shame in it.

      “The tenth round, the 11th round, that’s why he’s the pound-for-pound No1.”
      Quizzed on how he scored the fight, Hearn added: “I felt it was. 115-113 to Usyk.

      “They asked me what I thought when I got in (the ring).
      “They thought it was close, I thought it was close but I felt Usyk won the fight because of the tenth, the 11th and the 12th.
      “Going into those rounds I had it very close, possibly AJ one round up after the ninth, but the championship rounds showed a championship fighter, a pound-for-pound great and that was the difference.
      He just exploded because he lost and he was devastatedEddie Hearn on AJ ring rant
      “It was a great performance from Anthony Joshua.”
      AJ, 32, was criticised after the fight for throwing the belts out of the ring and hijacking the mic for an impromptu speech.
      But Hearn believes his fighter’s response was “human”.
      He said: “You saw the reaction from AJ, and that was from a human who wanted to win so badly with so much pressure on his shoulders.

      “I think he just exploded because he lost and he was devastated, and he’s given everything to try and win this fight.

      Wilder, 36, accidentally landed the shot on House while working on close-range punching against the ring apron.
      As soon as he landed the punch, he said: “Oh s***.”

      “Once I got my statue in my hometown and saw so many people arrive and celebrate with me and my family, to see all the emotions, grown men crying in front of their children and saying he is a real true king, made me feel like my job is not done.

      Joshua’s third professional defeat – and second in a row – has ended talks of an all-British dust-up with Fury for the time being.
      And while Fury now enters negotiations over a potential undisputed bout with Usyk, he has also piled in on AJ’s ability.
      Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “There’s no disrespect to Joshua – but at top-level, world-class boxing, he just can’t cut it.”
      He then went on to add: “I don’t respect Usyk. I don’t think he’s a great fighter. I’ve seen more excitement in Morecambe on a Friday night.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      ” Without being disrespectful to Joshua, he’s found his level. He’s lost three of his last five, so clearly he’s come up wanting at a high level.
      “I didn’t take anything from that fight, Joshua found his level.
      “Usyk didn’t land a worthwhile punch in 12 rounds. It was tip-tap b*******! He couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.”
      Fury was then quizzed on where AJ’s legacy sits following the back-to-back losses against Usyk.

      To which he simply responded: “It’s in tatters.”
      Fury also told Usyk that his team have just one week to negotiate the undisputed fight or he will stay retired.
      The Gypsy King claimed he was hanging up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte in April.

      But following Usyk’s win over AJ, he revealed he would face the Ukrainian for the unrealistic price of £500million.
      He elaborated on that position by adding: “They have a week. It’s August 24. They have a week to submit their offers.
      “I want it in writing with proof of funds. This fight is purely about money. I’m happily retired. I don’t need money, I’ve got plenty of money.” More
