Oleksandr Usyk’s merchandise store was counterfeited just over a week after his historic win over Tyson Fury.

Usyk is currently recovering from his epic bout against Tyson Fury earlier this month, in which the 37-year-old won via split decision with scores of 115-112, 113-114, and 114-113.

The Ukrainian’s triumph made him the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division by claiming the WBC title from Fury, adding it to his WBA (Super), WBO, IBF, and IBO titles. While he may still be celebrating, fraudsters have imitated his official ‘Ready To Fight’ merch store on Instagram.

The fake accounts nearly duplicate the store’s appearance. The only noticeable difference lies in the number of underscores in the account names, with the original having just one underscore.
