Boxing fans looking to watch Tyson Fury take on Oleksandr Usyk via an illegal stream have received a warning ahead of Saturday’s fight. Fury and Usyk lock horns in the ring this weekend for a hotly anticipated rematch, with the bout being shown live on streaming service DAZN.
British star Fury is hoping to reclaim the WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles in Riyadh after losing to Usyk in the duo’s first showdown in May. Ring walks for the main event are expected at 10pm UK time with Fury declaring the rematch as the ‘biggest event of his life’.
Ahead of the fight, Kieron Sharp, CEO of BeStreamWise partner FACT, has warned boxing fans not to watch the bout by using illegal streams. ‘Choosing to bypass official channels to watch the highly anticipated Fury vs. Usyk fight this Saturday isn’t just risky – it’s illegal and can expose you to serious dangers,’ Sharp said.
‘Illegal streaming puts consumers at risk of malware, financial theft, and the compromise of personal data, such as emails, photos, and browsing history. ‘During events of high viewership, fraudsters are targeting unsuspecting viewers. ‘BeStreamWise is dedicated to raising awareness about the significant dangers of illegal streaming, educating on the facts, and ensuring consumers know where to safely watch the content they love.
‘Boxing fans should enjoy the fight offered by official providers, rather than facing the risks of being a target to criminal operations.’. Fury vs Usyk 2 will not be for the undisputed heavyweight title after the Ukrainian fighter was forced to vacate the IBF championship.
