So I caught you using it again (and this post is from two years ago) just by googling the word- it seems like it's some rare ethnic slur.
The word "katsaps", common for all the Orthodox and Eastern Slavs, is quite often used as a negative nickname for Belarusians. As a rule, Poles have a stereotype of Belarusians as of a badly-organized, undefined community without a cultural tradition. In other words, in general, Belarusians are considered to be "lesser" people, although Belarusians otherwise do not stand out in any crowd.
Now I suggest you calm down since it's only boxing, but simple minded people have a habit of doing things like these
