    Pulev is a throwback kinda fighter head like an Ox worried he will have that Serpant style jabbing hand keeping Hughie focused and then slowly but surely he walks through anything Hughie throws pins him in the corner or ropes and throws that haymaker he’s capable of. Hughie got to keep him at arms length or this could be really hard night. I’m really 50/50 on this one for some weird reason.

    This could easily be remembered as the Salsa in Sofia - one for the boxing purists.

    12 classic rounds of boxthing with Pudding Pulev pawing away with the jab all night chasing Hughie 'The Skirt' Fury for 12 rounds with Le Skirt countering with the odd limp slap.

    Think I will warm up for this fight by watching a repeat of Fury v Parker and Caterall v Davies just so I don't get over excited when Le Skirt enters the ring.

    I smell allegations of a points robbery when the future youngest ever World Heayweight Champion Skirt bearer loses to Pudding Pulev on points.

    That should knock at least another 25,000 from Joshua crowds at Wembley Stadium.

    Think Eh Day booked this for superfights and he gets old PED Povetkin and Hughie 'The Skirt' Fury.

    Suppose the latter fight will kill off future stadium fights with the exception of Tony Dosh v Wilder/T. PED Fury

    Hughie late stoppage.
    A Bulgarian Howard Foster jumps in to save Pulev eating 12 consecutive jabs.

    Can’t rule pulev out of this fight but I just think hughie is about to put the shift of his life in here

    Taking into account Pulev's age and inactivity I pick Fury by decision.Whether he will get the verdict is another matter.

    Close fight.
    Homefighter gets it on the cards (like 95% of the time).
    Pulev close decision.

    If Pulev puts pressure on Hughie he will quit I really believe he lacks real heart just watch the his fight against Kassi he wanted to quit but his dad Peter wouldn't let him "but dad I'm tired" then Terry O'Connor saved them and even though he never called it an accidental head butt at the time he stopped the fight and Hughie won on a countback an absolute disgrace as kassi was coming on strong and would of stopped him over the next few rounds.

    This has the potential to be the last time Channel 5 show boxing for a long time.

    Pulev is the better fighter, but he's been inactive and is getting old. If he hasn't slowed down and is still the same fighter that won almost every round against Chisora he wins on points.

    Could there be anything hairier,
    In all of fair Bulgaria,
    Than Hughie Fury's gormless bearded face?
    Looking ever more lupine,
    It can only be a sign,
    Next full moon bodies will vanish without trace,

    Has he swapped his skin condition,
    For a werewolves disposition,
    Should Kubrat Pulev be concerned about his bite,
    Or will big Hughie behave,
    Maybe even have a shave,
    And go on to win our hearts and then the fight,

    He did quit vs Kassi but don’t forget he has his man strength now. If Hughie doesn’t beat Pulev he should stop eating wild boar and move down to cruiser.

    Hughie Fury by spectacular KO.

    His loss to Parker was an excellent thing to happen. Everyone is protecting their zero nowadays, that's a huge stress factor to get off your back, and he now has first hand experience that negative style won't win you fights. You're in for big, big shock. #Hughiehypetrain2019

    I don't think a 24 year old heavyweight should move down a division just because they have lost to a world top 5 heavyweight. Not saying Hughie will lose though.
