Sharing a video of himself boxing and a series of snaps of the sports star he penned: ‘Ricky’s passing really reminded me why I started this.
‘Too many of us feel like we’re struggling on our own — but you don’t have to. That’s why I built my free community.’
The star then went onto list key points of his services including a ‘supportive space,’ ‘daily tasks’ to help clients become ‘the best version of yourself’ as well as fitness tips and discounts.Â

Yet fans seemed to find the post insensitive as they commented: ‘This is soooooo sad using his death to promote,have a word with yourself and have some respect…’
‘Shocking using someone’s death too promote your business’;Â
‘Using someone’s death to promote business is not it bro. I was a fan of yours for sure, and I hated all the stupid comments on your posts… but now I’m starting to see their side sadly’;
‘Someone in your team needs to start intervening before you post because you really do scrape the moral barrel with some of your content’;
‘If you aren’t click baiting photos of your ex’s you’re now using somebodies death for content.’
Daily Mail have contacted Anton’s representatives for comment.Â

Sharing a video montage of her ex-partner on Instagram to the soundtrack of Elvis Presley’s If I Can Dream, the actress wrote: ‘I’ve needed a few days to process the devastating news about my dear friend Ricky.’
Claire sent her condolences to Ricky’s loved ones, including his long-serving manager Paul Speak, who was known as Speaky. It was Speak who found the body of the sporting legend at his home in Hyde on Sunday morning.
‘My thoughts are with his family especially his children Campbell, Millie Fearne and Lyla, his granddaughter,’ Claire wrote.
‘To them, Speaky and to all his friends who loved him so deeply and for so many years I send you my deepest sympathy. Ricky, you were the people’s champ. We adored and cherished you. Love you always.’
The actress struck up a relationship with Ricky after spending time together on Dancing On Ice in January 2024 and despite splitting following eight months of dating remained close friends. Â
