Peter Fury said he is in a 50/50 fight next against a "formidable" opponent with an announcement being made in the next 2 weeks. Any Ideas who it is?
Helenius, Wallin, Ortiz and Wilder are very winnable fights that would be Hughie best career win. Hunter would also be a very good opponent but I think it would be a step too far for Hughie again.
It’s Michael Hunter for sure. He isn’t feared anymore after ducking Hrgovic to fight on Triller and losing to journeyman Jerry Forrest.
Helenius would be good matchmaking: he's coming off the two best wins of his career but he was never the quickest or fittest and at 38+ in particular he would have serious problems with Hughie's style and attributes. Hunter at his best would be more difficult but he never had great stamina, discipline has been a problem for him and he's coming off a gift draw with a tough journeyman, so maybe Hughie would be favoured there too. The Hunter fight would be interesting and would serve as a good barometer for Hughie's improvement in the last two or three years.
Hunter drew with Povetkin(possibly deserved to win). Povetkin spanked Hughie for 12 rounds. If Hunters at his best then it’s a dangerous fight
The Hunter that looked out shape and poor against Forrest - Hughie would beat. The version of Hunter that beat Bakole, Kuzmin and deserved to beat Povetkin - Hunter will be too good for Hughie. The likes of Helenius, Wallin, Ortiz and Wilder would be easier tests and Hughie should beat.
Hunter and Hrgovic arguably the two most overrated boxers in the sport of boxing. Some even argued that Tyson Fury was trying to duck Hrgovic. Hrgovic.. Incredible. Easy nights work for H. Fury.
