LONDON, Oct 16, (Agencies): Lord Aleem, a prominent social media influencer with a substantial following of over 1 million across various platforms, found himself at the center of controversy during the KSI versus Tommy Fury boxing match on Saturday. Reportedly, he was asked to leave the event due to his choice of attire, specifically a “Free Palestine” T-shirt.

Aleem Iqbal documented the incident on X, sharing a video that captured his interaction with security personnel at the Manchester venue. In the video, he can be heard questioning, “Why can’t I wear it?” as the guard attempts to block the camera recording the incident.

According to Lord Aleem, he was presented with two options: either remove the T-shirt or exit the premises. He subsequently shared a video on Instagram, depicting his forced removal by four security guards.

In an Instagram caption, he highlighted the apparent inconsistency in treatment, noting that security had not raised any concerns when social media celebrity Logan Paul displayed the US flag in the boxing ring.

The incident sparked strong reactions from users on X, with one user, @Zoshhh, commending Lord Aleem, stating, “This is so wild. Huge respect for standing your ground.” Another user, @Tawanda009, expressed their surprise, saying, “I thought we lived in a free and democratic country.”
