Watching Usyk vs Dubois 2 free stream has 'serious dangers', Boxing fans warned after Fire TV stick crackdown

But Boxing fans looking to save money could be tempted to seek out free livestreams for Usyk vs Dubois 2 across social media as well as using illicit streaming devices, like "fully loaded" Fire TV Sticks — also dubbed "dodgy Firesticks" — other IPTV devices, sometimes referred to as Kodi Boxes.

In the past, Chief Executive of anti-piracy organisation FACT, Kieron Sharp has issued a warning to Britons tempted to watch without paying: streaming for free isn't just about breaking the law, it also exposes you to significant security risks.

The stark warning comes days after FACT and law enforcement executed a crackdown on "dodgy Firesticks" in 15 areas across the UK, with at least one person jailed. More action is planned.

"Choosing to bypass official channels isn’t just risky— it’s illegal and can expose you to serious dangers," Kieron Sharp has stated ahead of previous blockbuster sport fixtures. "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."

Live sports has seen the fastest growth rate of any pirated genre since 2018.

And with millions desperate to catch the clash between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk, scam artists and hackers will leverage this popularity to spread malicious software, steal credit and debit card details, and siphon off personal information.

As such, it could end up costing you much, much more than the £24.99 fee that you're desperately trying to swerve.

Research from anti-piracy campaigners at BeStreamWise revealed that 1 in 3 (32%) individuals in the UK who stream illegally have been victims of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result. Due to the sheer amount of money — and valuable personal data — available, large-scale criminal networks increasingly control illegal streaming operations.

Kieron Sharp added: "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."

FACT is a British organisation recognised by law enforcement, entertainment brands, and governments worldwide. Its purpose is to conduct investigations and digital forensics in the UK to protect against intellectual property crimes. In 2024, FACT was awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise for outstanding growth in international trade — the highest official award for British businesses.

Streaming copyrighted material for free without permission from the rightsholders is against the law in the UK. It carries a maximum penalty of unlimited fines or a custodial sentence of up to 10 years. Downloading and streaming — which is just temporarily downloading to your device — are the same offence in the eyes of the law, despite what some mistakenly believe. Under UK law, there is no legal “grey area” around streaming rather than downloading content.

As the warning from FACT CEO Kieron Sharp illustrates, the dangers when looking for free live streams, free movie downloads, or TV shows online is not just the illegality of watching copyrighted material for free without permission from the rights-holders. The websites and devices that offer access to these streams can be a cesspit of malware and credit card scams.

These sites often don't impose the same content moderation and age restrictions as legitimate streamers either, with disgruntled users finding sports streams appearing next to graphic pornography and other inappropriate content too.
