Citywest is due to host a neo-nazi in February.(update: Celtic Gladiator has pulled the fighter from the event)
A mixed martial arts event promoted by Celtic Gladiator will include a Finnish neo-Nazi named Niko Puhakka. AFA Ireland and other groups are calling on Citywest Hotel and Celtic Gladiator to deny the nazi and his followers a space to promulgate their particular hateful views. He has had invitations withdrawn previously at events in Poland and England due to his nazi outlook.
Despite writing a letter which is published on the Celtic Gladiator facebook page trying to distance himself from his ‘past’ photos and video have emerged of him with other fascists as recently as November 2012.
Below are some photos of him and his associates.

They’re actually going ahead with it? Ew.
This cannot happen!!!!!!!!!!!!why would we want a person like him here?boycott!!!would you actually go and watch him fight??i wouldn’t.
share it, pressure Citywest
he issued a statement saying he’s no longer a Nazi and the tatts have been done over.
which is untrue as you can see in the photos (november singing in nazi band, tatts are still visible in other photos)
@ronan its bull!look at the pics!!
Pressure citywest and celtic gladiator!!they have him all over their fb page!
@YourAnonNews might be of interest. http://t.co/iedYxTLh
Failing that, we could always do this http://img.rasset.ie/0006212e-642.jpg
I’m fairly sure if he does come here after those combat 18, uvf fundraiser pics come out his welcoming might be a to touch unfriendly
Hi @CitywestResort and @CGladiator, please do not host and promote the Neo-Nazi Niko Puhakka. http://t.co/KXkgsz5V
A friend into MMA told me that Celtic Gladiator are likely to not give a shit, it’s obviously still worth contacting them, but if people were to contact their sponsors for the event, it’d probably pressure them in the pocket which they may be more likely to respond to. Sponsors:
info@xtra-vision.ie
pressoffice@setanta.com
kontakt@365pr.pl
kontakt@frugo.pl
Yep that’s the way to do it.
Xtra Vision sponsor nazi in prizefight. Nice.
Known neo-Nazi from Finland called Niko Puhakka is due to fight in MMA event in Citywest next month.

There’s no actual proof when these photos were taken. It’ all seems circumstantial. The pictures from youtube don’t prove anything as videos are known to be uploaded years after pictures are taken.
