    Can I see a source where Hughie says he'll retire?

    Hughie Fury will be better than Joshua. unless Joshua bucks the trend and is actually sucessful after winning at the Olympics for team GB. Fury is coming along nicley for an 18 year old Joshua got a gift at London 2012 and hasn't even had a pro fight yet.

    Also worth noting Hughie isn't currently being paid and is just fighting to gain experience. He's fighting again next Sunday in Milton Keynes. The plan is for him to have 14 fights by the end of the year.

    I wish him well...

    Why is that worth noting?

    Do you think he struggles for money like most other boxers at his current level?

    Feel free to explain. I'm all ears.

    This should be fun.

    I have better things to do on a Sunday afternoon then explain simple things to somebody who quite clearly has already formed a negative opinion of Hughie Fury.

    Enjoy your day...

    As far as I'm aware there both actually friends.

    From what I've watched of Hughie, for 18 years old I've been very impressed. His shot selection is good, he's composed... if he's brought through correctly there's no doubt in my mind that he'll make waves in the HW division

    Pretty much bang on my thoughts too.

    For a big man he fights like an old school big man like big George. He really put some snap on those body shots and fights very relaxed.

    Joshua would rightly be a massive favourite and prob demolishes Hughie despite being more than a little rough around the edges himself.

    Camarelle, savon etc. would be huge favourites against Hugue too.
