    Last we heard was big baby miller said no thank you pulev and then the fight was offered to Hughie

    This is an ibf eliminator don’t forget and after the sexton win he said he wasn’t messing about anymore and is coming for those titles

    Any word or did Hughie have roast duck yesterday?

    Hope Hughie does take this fight...he can beat Pulev.

    What a snooze fest this fight would be though...just thinking about it makes me tired lol

    I saw an interview I'm sure it was Hearn in America last week saying he heard Hughie is willing to travel.

    With Hughies style if he does win well what I mean is if he wins the fight by most people's opinion no way it will be enough to get the nod over there.

    It will be a close fight only way Hughie wins if it's a dominant shut out performance which is not possible with his style.

    Hughie Fury style whilst unentertaining to the majority of boxing makes him different to fight ! Pulev is a solid fighter and dangerous if you trade with him trying to hit Fury is like trying to nail smoke to a wall!

    I cant see either of them wanting to trade tho. Will be interesting to see if this fight will get made.

    If Hughie fights the way he usually does, I just can't see Pulev getting close to him. Standing there with his hands in the air looking like a preying mantis.. Easy win for Hughie if he lets his hands go.

    Hughie ducks this fight- because he isn’t “ready”. Him stepping up against Parker was a definite one off and they don’t want another loss on his record.

    No doubt he will fight another scrub like Sexton next.

    The Webb vs Allen fight is an eliminator for the British title but I believe Hughie is above their level now

    I think Hughie has a good chance against Pulev or Kabayal but I don’t he wants to risk fighting abroad and another loss on his record

    i think it should be fine over there in terms of bias, remember the Chisora fight was a clear Pulev win but it ended up a SD

    The ref was appalimh though. Pulev should have had points deducted for grabbing. Wasn't even when in close he would reach and and grab Chisora! Then the ref warned Chisora!

    Hughie has spent his entire career running away from decent opponents- both inside and outside of the ring.
