KSI vs Swarmz and Luis Pineda: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, PPV price, undercard for HUGE fight night
KSI makes his boxing return this weekend…and he fights TWICE in one night.
The YouTuber’s original opponent Alex Wassabi had to pull out because of an injury sustained in his training camp, and he now faces rapper Swarmz and then Mexican pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda in a double bill main event.
Wassabi wrote on Instagram: “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.”
So KSI will face BOTH Swarmz and Pineda instead, and that’s despite Jake Paul’s calls for HIM to be chosen as the Brit’s next opponent.

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.”

Channel stores are officially the hottest new thing in streaming
YouTube is building a system that would allow users to subscribe to streaming services through the YouTube app, The Wall Street Journal reported, and could launch the so-called “channel store” as early as this fall. The Journal’s report didn’t say which services might be part of the store, only that YouTube has been talking with various entertainment companies.
A channel store makes perfect sense for YouTube, and it’s been a long time in the works: The Information reported on a similar plan way back in early 2020. More recently, the company has been signaling this is coming: “I think whether content is distributed in a bundle, or where over time we explore other ways of distributing it, I think YouTube can be a great partner there,”…
YouTube is reportedly planning to launch a ‘channel store’ for streaming services
YouTube has been working on an online store where you can purchase subscriptions for various streaming services, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Google-owned video streaming platform has reportedly been developing a “channel store” for at least the past 18 months and is currently in talks with potential partner companies. YouTube already gives its $65-a-month streaming TV subscribers the option to add access to extra services like HBO Max. The upcoming store, however, will apparently give people a way to purchase a la carte streaming services from the main YouTube app.
The Journal says YouTube is pitching its platform as a great way for companies to market their streaming services, since viewers can watch trailers for free on its website or app and then easily pay for a subscription. Partner companies will likely have to share their earnings with YouTube for purchases made within the video platform. YouTube, the publication says, is already discussing how to split subscription revenues with them, though the terms vary for each partner.
Even with the prospect of having to share revenue with partners, more streaming service are now open to the idea of bundling or teaming up. Starz chief executive Jeffrey Hirsch told The Journal that bundling streaming services with other players creates a better experience for users. Also, it puts providers’ offering in front of more people and makes subscribers less likely to cancel. In YouTube’s case, the app is already widely used and could provide paying users a single platform to manage several subscriptions. For streaming providers, making their services more readily and easily available could help them survive what analysts believe is going to be a tough year marked with losing a significant number of users.
YouTube’s “channel store” could reportedly launch as soon as fall this year, though it has yet to confirm that the project exists and that it’s already having talks with potential partners.
