This is first time when i notice that fight promoters pull finnish figter out from the fight. It seems to be due to his old Nazi tattoos and past involvement with hate groups.
As old saying goes: You can run from your past but you can't hide!
Original news: Celtic gladiator removes Niko Puhakka from card.
"Celtic Gladiator Company Statement regarding Niko Puhakka:
Due to the controversy surrounding the fighter Niko Puhhaka, the organisers of Celtic Gladiator decided to cancel the fight that was scheduled to take place on 9 February at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin. Celtic Gladiator have signed the contract with Niko Puhakka basing only on his performance and achievements in sports. We as an organization do not judge our fighter by race, color, religion or beliefs.
Unfortunately, the amount of negative feedback regarding the fighter forced us to make a decision of removing his name from fight card. This, however, does not mean that the fighter Wesley Murch will not appear on the event, he will be assigned a new opponent shortly.
Best Regards
Board of Celtic Gladiator"
The Finnish fighter was scheduled scheduled to take on England’s Wesley Murch at the Dublin event “Day of War VI”.
