On October 9, 2023 I placed an order online for an autographed butter bean boxing glove and a shipping label was printed but the glove was never shipped. I contacted the owner via Instagram and ******** to where he responded many times he would ************ he has ignored my messages and deleted my questions about my gloves on social media. I have asked for a refund or to ship the glove with negative results.

I made several purchases through the Icons of Boxing website between 12/15/23 and 12/24/23. The first 3 orders I placed were for authentic signed boxing gloves and I received notifications on all 3 that they had shipped on 12/18/23. I received 2 of those items and the 3 item was never received by the **** according to their website and the tracking number states that. After a few days I emailed *********************** about this item since it was a $700 item. He told me to be patient. In the meantime I found ordered several more items from the website and since have only received 1 of those items. So in total I have placed 9 separate orders for 11 separate items. I have only received 3 items and upon inspection they were not the items that were advertised on the website and I suspected them to be forgeries. So I sent the photos of the items to ************************************** to be examined and they deemed them fraudulent as well. So I began sending emails to *********************** the owner to get some explanation of what was happening. I explain to him the issues with the items I received also how they were not consistent with the items he had advertised on his website. I asked for refunds on the 9 items I had not received. He then told me I was wrong and accused me of never having intentions to receive the items and that I purposely tying up his merchandise. So I called my financial institution and explained To them what was going on and they flagged the purchases as fraudulent. I started looking to see if anyone else had experienced this issue with this website and found several reviews on this website BBB of people who seemed to have identical dealings with Icons of Boxing as well as finding more material online indicating that this website sold fake signatures and so on. I have numerous emails as proof between me and ************** where I have repeatedly asked for refunds on my purchases to which he has not facilitated. I filed a complaint with the *** as well. I have all receipts as well.Customer response

On 20 August 2023 I made a purchase from Icons of boxing. I was notified that **** created shipping details on Aug 28 but are still waiting for the items to be provided for shipment to occur. After a week of no change I made contact through the online chat, email and ******** message. I received a response on ******** stating Im on it which was vague and did not answer my questions. I finially received a response to the online chat on 8 September saying shipped over a 3 day holiday weekend again vague and to my knowledge the only holiday would of been Labour Day on 4 September. There has been no change and **** are still waiting on the item. This was meant to be a birthday gift and a significant amount of money was spent on the purchase. I do not feel this seller will be honest in providing the products.Customer response

I offered 2 sets of signed gloves over a Month ago I have since emailed many times, contacted the website and ******** site. I can see the messges have been read. Dispite all my efforts the business refuses to communicate in any way. They have not sent my order or done anything. They have taken my money and done nothing. As far as I can tell this business is a SCAM and they are simply steeling peoples money.Initial Complaint
