    Doing the rounds that Hughie was offered to box Joshua.

    So that's now Wilder,Joshua,Whyte he has now apparently refused to fight which is funny considering he claimed to he was going to be the Youngest Heavyweight Champion of all time.

    I really don't even understand what that fight would do for AJ anyway.

    Well we all know he and Eddie are not looking for anyone dangerous like an Ortiz just yet.

    There's a fair few on here who think Hughie outboxes him easily so it'd quiet them down at least

    Not fair . he's had poor health. Let him get back to full strength Before throwing him to the lions. His team have said their not in a rush anymore

    Leave him alone? Why should anyone after all the smack they have spoken about other Heavyweights.

    He's been pro nearly four years now and his best Win is Shane Mcphilbin.

    Even allowing for his youth and inexperience can anyone tell me what Hughie Fury brings to the table or is likely to?

    He is a good boxer, I think he turned professional too early to be honest.

    He should of hung around in the amateurs and could of possibly got an Olympic Games under his belt, this year or even in 2020 when he would still be 25 (which is very young for a Heavyweight.)

    This. He doesn't carry any sort of power. He's still a baby for a HW and ain't got his man strength yet. As soon as he steps up people will walk through his punches, best waiting another year or 2 before going to that level.

    He has turned down the fight multiple times. They want nothing to do with Joshua.

    No it's not. It's Kassi, and Rudenko was also a good win.

    When his trainer is telling us he beats Joshua and then turns down the fight twice he deserves criticism.

    And who has Joshua beat? Kassi got robbed vs Brezeale and Martin was a joke.
