Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury coming for ‘so-called top heavyweights’

Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury will return to action on April 4 at London’s York Hall.

Fury is 29-3 (16 KOs), and the 30-year-old from Manchester, after three years out, notched three victories this year with points wins over Kostiantyn Dovbyschenko and Christian Thun and a stoppage of Patrick Korte.

Earlier in his career, Fury fought the likes of Joseph Parker, Kubrat Pulev, and Alexander Povetkin, and he will fight at London’s York Hall on April 4.

“I’ve enjoyed working with GBM and I am excited to be signing this multi-fight deal,” Fury said. “I’ve been constantly in the gym and I’m coming for all these so-called top heavyweights soon. They can’t avoid me much longer and I’m going to spoil their day in the sun. I’m going to be busy this year and whoever wants it can have it. Call my team – I will be there.” 

Hughie is still trained by his father Peter, who said: “Hughie is back in action and we are working with [GBM promoter] Izzy Asif to cement a big fight for Hughie this year. GBM have pencilled in Hughie’s next two fights for April and May. He’s ready for them all and we can’t wait for so-called experts to eat humble pie. Action is needed and Hughie is ready to deliver it.”

Asif believes Fury is a world-class heavyweight with potential to do damage in the division.

“The heavyweight division is wide open right now and the timing is perfect for Hughie to step up and emerge as one of the dominant forces in the division over the coming years,” he said. 

“With our exclusive broadcast partner DAZN, we are looking forward to joining Hughie on the road to becoming heavyweight champion of the world.”
