At the age of 23, Luis Alcaraz Pineda finds himself taking part in a unique event at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night.
As a part of the first MF & DAZN X Series, Pineda will face KSI in the main event, and the Mexican will hoping he can take advantage of any potential tiredness in his opponent who will be fighting twice in one night.
For Pindea, this will be a chance to get a huge amount of exposure on the world stage who despite being a professional boxer, is a name not known amongst most boxing fans.
Championships

Biggest wins

In 2017, the Mexican mustered two unaminous decision wins over Pablo Poom Leal and Jose Adolfo Caro, but if he can overcome KSI on Saturday night, that will by far be the biggest win of his career so far.
