    Handsome Hughie Fury v Grand Theft Auto extra Kubrat Pulev. Winner is mandatory for Joshua.

    This is going to be boxing excellence. THE best mover and the slickest HW around up against one of the best jabs in the game.

    Hughie going into the “lion’s nest” in Bulgaria, true to the Warrior’s Code to fight a battle that Brixton “roadman” Dillian Whyte wanted nothing to do with and American burger munching lardass Jarrell Miller shat himself from.

    What a fight, absolutely cannot wait for this, Hughie to pull off a brutal KO in the second half of the fight.

    despite the hyperbole, i'm actually quite looking forward to this. i think Hughie learned in the Parker fight that he needs to be more aggressive and throw more punches, and i know it was only Sexton, but he appeared to take that on board for that fight and got a great stoppage. Looking forward to seeing if he can take that back to world level.

    Bit ridiculous to say Whyte ducked Pulev when he fought a better opponent in Parker for waaay more money.
    Miller on the other hand was blatantly avoiding, trying to preserve his hopeful shot at AJ.
    I like watching Hughie but I seem to be in the minority....
    Hope the fight is competitive...

    It's like when people complained that Bradley ducked Khan. Yeah, Bradley ducked Khan to fight Pacquiao... How can you fault a man for that?

    I disagree. Pulev would jab Parker's face off all night unless he has deteriorated greatly in his recent inactivity

    It's prize fighting doe....
    I said it's not a duck if you get paid vastly more for boxing another guy. What you speculate about potential match-up is irrelevant.
    Wilder avoiding Whyte despite him being his biggest pay day and highest ranked opponent though.....now that's duckage.

    I'm a Hughie fan despite his poor showing vs Parker where I think a poor game plan and execution cost him the fight. I always like a good mover and Hughie is that if anything. I hope he gets a fair shake in Bulgaria and he doesn't choke again and put on another timid performance.

    I think if he gets judged fairly on the scorecards then he wins a decision. Pulev looked near shot vs Johnson.

    Hughie is the Prince that was promised. We all thought it was Tyson but we misunderstood the prophecy.

    Hughie sat down on his punches vs Sexton. Hope he does so again vs Pulev.

    Should be a good fight

    It seem's there's nothing scarier,
    Than fighting in Bulgaria,
    It's left the entire division in despair,
    They're agog with utter fear,
    Of merely travelling to Sofia,
    And facing Kubrat Pulev in his lair,

    As both Miller and big Dillion,
    Lost their purse bids by a million,
    Their choice of where to fight was torn away,
    When they heard the fights location,
    Lay within the Bulgar's nation,
    Inside their own borders they vowed to stay,

    So Whyte sadly chose to scarper,
    Preferring to face Joseph Parker,
    For a pot of PPV riches thanks to Sky,
    And Jarrrell Miller wasn't happy,
    That Big Baby filled his nappy,
    Cause the risk of travelling seemed way too high,

    Thus this cursed mandatory
    Passed on down to Hughie Fury,
    That's the fella with the famous boxing cousin,
    If the Bulgarian's no cheater,
    Maybe him and father Peter,
    Will be the ones to set the boxing world a 'buzzin

    As the big nights now approachin,
    Peters finishing up his coaching,
    And the talking and the trainings nearly done,
    Pulevs doom is surely sealed,
    To hughies power he must yield,
    Then the Furys must finish what's begun,

    For if Hughie shows brave heart,
    Then this fight is but the start,
    Though a victory would mark a special day,
    For their thoughts would turn to Wembley,
    Where before a vast assembly,
    We'd finally see a Fury fight AJ

    Joshua will vacate IBF if Fury wins. He don't want that Gypsy Elvis smoke

    McCracken will **** it from Big Peter and Fat Mick will take no nonsense from slime ball Hearn either. That build up would be sublime.

    Mick Hennessy finds a way to remortgage the same house a quadrillion times and wins the purse bid. Fight takes place in back room of working men's club in Droylesden. Eddie Hearn never heard from again after trip to the toilets.
