Seems like not quite everybody is avoiding Hughie. Or maybe it's a publicity stunt.

Maybe not just publicity but deffinitely after a payday. He's not even in any rankings

Tony Thompson is a difficult fight for anyone, I doubt mini Fury will take it

I agree with you Ross, he's clearly after the payday. Infact any Below elite level boxers want to fight the Brits because they know it's Silly Money comparatively speaking.
I know it's all bollocks at the moment, But do you think the Team Fury would consider this fight? Obviously the fact that he isn't ranked means nothing. After all, you only have to look at the fact that Mark De Mori was ranked.
Good kudos if Hughie were to beat him , but definitely a banana skin.
The problem is with all these last minute.com fights is that if he won , people would say "Yeah but Thompson didn't have enough Preparation time."
It's not Hughie's fault, and I've said this before, But to get him to the next level, Hughie now needs fights where he can have a good Preparation camp and he's not on the same bill as Tyson , so that the focus is on him and Peter can concentrate on him fully.
At the moment, it kind of feels like his career is treading water.
