The number of far-right, white supremacist fight clubs is exploding. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) published a recent report that pinpointed at least 100 in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
But the Scottish group is the first in the UK to have explicitly presented itself on a public platform. Many from other nations are visible and active on Telegram and other encrypted platforms.
Alexander Ritzmann, the CEP report’s author, said recently: “This is an unprecedented growth. I’ve never seen a network in right-wing extremism grow so fast. Usually, it takes years to build a transnational network. It’s concerning.”

Groups have tended to number between five and 25 – but the Scottish group appears to be aiming for a higher membership.
