    seems like this on the Loma - Campbell card. Thoughts on this one?

    Less than one month left, it's hard to believe that they both will sign a contract.

    Top marks to Fury if he takes this fight. Just the type of name he needs on his resume.

    I don't particularly rate him, but he can make things difficult for Povetkin and stands a good chance.

    Hopefully for his sake his Matchroom contract includes a new pair of running shoes.

    That would be hilarious. Hughie would get another massive schooling.

    Povetkin had already signed to fight Allen so now needs a new plan and must be ready to go. Hearn said Peter and hughie are happy to have a tough fight straight away and don’t wanna hang around.

    They obviously think now is the time to catch povetkin.

    I had high hopes for Fury, but after the Parker fight we really got to see what level Hughie is really at.

    Povetkin outboxed and even had Joshua hurt in his last fight. Do not give Hughie any real chance at all.

    Would really love this one to come off so I could see Hughie have his head taken off.

    It’s been long overdue but Povetkin is the man for the job

    It would finally put the “he is only 24” brigade to bed for good

    Can’t see this one happening, Povetkin is way better than pulev, I think fury gets wasted and stopped in 7 rounds

    If I remember correctly, Povetkin had an operation on both of his ellbows right after the Joshua fight. However, I don't think Fury has any chance against Povetkin. Povetkin seems just too complete in his style while Hughie showed bad performance in his recent fights.

    The only thing I worry about is Povetkin's ability to take a punch and his stamina won't be overwhelming either at his age.

    Absolutely agree to a KO victory within 7 for Povetkin.

    Povetkin’s stamina was very poor in the Joshua fight, he done great the first 3 rounds and then looked done. I wouldn’t be 100% convinced he beats Hughie even if he is awful.

    Hughie has never beaten a top 50 fighter and they're putting him in with a top 10 fighter. Fury will lose like the two times he fought a top 10 fighter.
