On Monday Yusuf Mohammed, of Bristol, was ordered to pay the legal costs after he was caught streaming Sky Sports content illegally online.

Mohammed was also ordered to disclose details about the money he made from the stream along with paying damages to Sky Sports.

It comes after Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) – which represents Sky – said one individual was last week forced to pay up for illegally streaming AJ's last fight against Wladimir Klitschko on Facebook.

In an out-of-court settlement, the unnamed person was forced to apologise to Sky along after his stream was viewed by 600,000 people on the social media site.

And ahead of AJ's showdown with Carlos Takam, FACT has warned people who are thinking of watching the bout without paying.

Illegal Kodi add-ons have been used to watch previous fights without paying, as well as illegal streams online.

The Intellectual Property Office previously told Daily Star Online how using Kodi to watch sporting events without paying falls under copyright infringement.

Both cases come before AJ will take on Takam at Cardiff's Principality Stadium to defend his IBF and WBA heavyweight titles.

Ahead of the bout Kieron Sharp, CEO of FACT, said: "This is the latest action taken in the ongoing crackdown on illegal digital piracy.

"It should now be crystal clear to anyone thinking of pirating or watching a pirated stream that this is not a grey area and that it is illegal."

Mr Sharp continued: "This should serve as a warning to others – whether it’s a copyright infringing website, a 'fully loaded' streaming device or an illegal stream on social media, it is still piracy and breaking the law."

Last month Brit trader Brian Thompson escaped jail after making £40,000 from illegal Kodi boxes at his Middlesborough outlet.

He sold them along with a sign saying: "Sick of paying monthly subscriptions? Free Sky, Virgin, Box Nation, Racing UK."

Thompson, 55, pleaded guilty and was given an 18-month prison sentence suspended for two years.
