Duco Events will take no prisoners when it comes to unauthorised live streaming of tomorrow night's championship bout between Joseph Parker and Andy Ruiz Jr.

The boxing promoter, and Sky, have just won a court case against seven people who live streamed a Parker fight earlier this year.

All seven had to pay $100 in nominal damages and more than $2500 in court costs.

Duco chief executive Martin Snedden said their organisation has grown their piracy team, and will have 15 or 16 people working tomorrow night.

Snedden insisted tha Duco get better at detecting those who are illegally streaming with every event.

Sky is charging nearly $60 for people to watch it on its pay-per-view Arena channel.
