Why is KSI boxing 2 fighters on the same night?

KSI was initially scheduled to fight fellow YouTuber Alex Wassabi in London but the latter pulled out due to a concussion and was replaced by rapper Swarmz. KSI recently revealed that he will also fight boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, who has a professional record of 2-5.

In a report by The Mirror, the British YouTuber spoke about facing two fighters on the same night:

“It's never been done before in YouTube boxing. In fact, I don't think it has ever been done in normal boxing on pay-per-view. We asked Bryce Hall, we asked Dax, we asked Vinnie Hacker, we asked Taylor Holder, and they either couldn't do it or said no… Am I insane? Probably? Am I crazy? Probably? Is this ridiculous? Probably.”

He also bragged about facing a real pro boxer sooner than fellow YouTuber Jake Paul. The two have been teasing a fight between one another in the ring for years.
