The controversial YouTube host claimed in the video that Filby said Freeman has been a fan of his.
“Dezi Freeman was a subscriber, and he used to love watching the Aussie Cossack channel,” Boikov said.
“Although I’ve never personally spoken to Dezi Freeman, I can see why he was a subscriber.”

Boikov has been hiding from Australian authorities in the consulate since December 2022, the ABC reported.
He fled to the consulate to avoid arrest after assaulting a pro-Ukraine protester in central Sydney, according to the outlet.
He was convicted in absentia.
Freeman has not been seen since late August, when he allegedly shot dead two police officers and injured a third.
The confrontation occurred when officers executed a search warrant at his property in rural Victoria.
He then fled into the bush with firearms and has since been on the run, News.com.au reported.
Police have placed a A$1 million ($1.1m) reward for information leading to his arrest.
