Who is Luis Alcaraz Pineda? Background, record, championships, biggest wins of KSI’s upcoming opponent

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

Just seven fights into his professional career, there is no surprise that Luis Pineda has not fought for a major title. 

Biggest wins

With a 2-5 professional record, Luis Pineda has found it hard to string a run of wins together. 

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.
