A leading UK hacker warns boxing fans against illegal streaming of the Fury vs. Usyk rematch, highlighting the serious security risks involved.

An expert hacker has issued a warning to boxing fans planning to illegally stream the highly-anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk . After their first meeting ended in a split decision, Usyk and Fury are set to meet once again to determine who the best heavyweight boxer in the world is. The rematch will see British boxer Fury hope to reclaim the WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles, having lost them to the Ukrainian during the first fight in May.
