Blueface will not be stepping into the ring with Nick Young on Saturday — the rapper has not yet been approved for a boxing license … and now event promoter Austin McBroom is scrambling to find a replacement with only 3 days until fight night.
TMZ Sports is told the 25-year-old Thotiana rapper received a letter from the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday informing him his application for a pro boxing license in the state would not be granted until he appeared before the organization in October.
Obviously, that means Blueface can’t fight Swaggy P on Saturday’s Social Gloves 2 card at Banc of California Stadium in L.A.
McBroom is headlining the event with rival and fellow YouTuber, AnEsonGib. Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell are also fighting.

Of course, Blueface has made headlines lately for several violent altercations with his girlfriend Chrisean. It’s unclear if those incidents played a role in the denial of a license.
It’s not the first bout Blueface has been pulled from … he was taken off the recent KSI card at the O2 Arena in London, where he was supposed to fight FaZe Temperrr.
Now, McBroom and his partners are working tirelessly to find a suitable opponent for the 6’7″ former NBA star.
