    Rumours are that this is on.

    Who are you picking for this one?

    Hunter has gone into hiding in terms of facing serious opposition. Seems to have gone down the money route rather than trying to test himself; until this fight.

    Hughie is clearly talented but lacks pop at the highest level and lacks a right hand. He has an iron mandible and elite defence. But he is WBA number 4.

    I think Hughie will take this one.

    @Mitch87 would this win put Hughie Fury above Tyson Fury in the CV rankings?

    Mitchroom has Freddie Flintoff above Tyson Fury with his 100% win record.

    Great fight! Will get Hughie into the top 10 rankings of Ring magazine and most governing bodies.

    I think the of Hunter of the Povetkin and Bakole fight beats Hughie. If Hujter shows up out of shape and lacklusted like he did against Forrest, Hughie will win on points.

    Competitive fight but Hughie fights lack excitement running around the ring in a skirt.

    Your analysis of the fight is good.

    Rumoured to happen in July, but there have been rumours about this fight for at least 2 months already, so let's see if they can make it in the end.

    Chief support for Shields vs Marshall on PPV maybe?

    No version of Hunter would beat Hughie Fury, in reality.

    Very good fight if it happens. I think Hughie would win on points, as I think he would wear Hunter down and finish the stronger.

    Rumour has it. The fight is hitting problems becomes Fury is signed to Hoppoe sports and they are sanctioned by the US government.
    Sky are having to tread carefully. It’s the same reason shields vs Marshall is delayed
