MF & DAZN: X Series 001, billed as
2 Fights 1 Night, was an
MF–professional boxing event which featured
KSI vs Luis Alcaraz Pineda, a
cruiserweight match contested between English
internet personality KSI and Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda for the inaugural
MFB cruiserweight title. The event took place at
The O2 Arena in
London on 27 August 2022. KSI defeated Pineda via
knockout in the third round. The event reportedly sold 445,500
pay-per-view buys. On the undercard, KSI also fought English rapper
Swarmz as the opening bout as originally, KSI was set to face American YouTuber
Alex Wassabi, who withdrew due to sustaining a
concussion. Along with this announcement came the reveal of Misfits Boxing, a subsidiary promotion of
Wasserman focusing on crossover boxing. On 1 July,
DAZN accidentally leaked that KSI's opponent would be Alex Wassabi, as well as revealing Deji vs
Fousey and
FaZe Temperrr vs
Blueface. On 15 July, KSI vs Wassabi was officially announced for
The O2 Arena in
London. On 17 August, following the online criticism KSI announced that he would be fighting twice, with his second opponent being Bulgarian professional boxer Ivan Nikolov (3–16–2). However, Nikolov was removed from the event due to his tattoos revealing he is a
white supremacist and
Neo-Nazi. Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda (2–5) was announced as the replacement opponent.
