    Needs to stop yo yoing between dog **** and World level opponents. Not a hope of a title shot in the next 2 years so he can genuinely be rebuilt now.

    I’d have him fight Price on the AJ/Pulev card and then face Helenius - who is shot to bits regardless of Saturdays result.

    Yeah I agree, he needs to start bridging the gap in levels between opponents

    Shame Tony Yoka’s fight fell through, but there were a few other fringe heavyweight prospects in action at the weekend...

    Efe Ajagba TKO 9 Razvan Cojanu
    Frank Sanchez PTS 10 Joey Dawejko
    Hughie Fury TKO 3 Paval Sour
    Demsey McKean TKO 10 Jonathan Rice
    Robert Helenius TKO 4 Adam Kownacki

    He'll go back of being petrified to throw his right hand when in with a live fighter again most likely. He'll have another soft touch next, then probably be fed to Hrgovic or Bakole or someone like that

    It will most probably be Price then Allen , Eddie was spouting some bull**** about building him the right way.

    Fury has been sparring with Bakole. Maybe @billy nelson can tell us if it’s been ‘interesting’ to see

    As I understand it, Bakole beats them all.

    How about Hughie vs Helenius?

    If I'm helenius do I risk my wba status?

    Genuine question, I don't know if he's even confirmed as challenger for the belt, but if he is confirmed maybe he wraps himself in cotton wool and waits for the big money jackpot?

    Helenius would be ideal if Hearn was to chuck money at that fight which I doubt.

    Hrgovic vs Hughie Fury is the least boring match up I can think of right now, or even Ajagba.

    It was a WBA eliminator but it wasn’t a WBA final eliminator. It gets Helenius into a better position for three of the four WBA belts but doesn’t make him mandatory and anywhere near consideration for the main WBA title.


    WBA SUPER CHAMPION - ANTHONY JOSHUA
    WBA WORLD CHAMPION - MANUEL CHARR
    WBA INTERIM CHAMPION - TREVOR BRYAN
    WBA GOLD CHAMPION - JOE JOYCE

    I think they announced before the fight that it was a final eliminator. However, the reason I'm not sure is that whatever brown envelopes were heading around were based on AK winning. I wouldn't be surprised if it's now magically not a final eliminator after all...

    Still, looking at that list you posted who on earth could make sense of who, if anyone, is entitled to fight for which belt.

    Dominic Breazale could be a good and beatable opponent for Hughie Fury...
