Shane Mcphilbin - Hughie Fury

Give him a break he's 18 years old he's still physically maturing. He's done well so far and looked good. He will learn a lot in the gym with Peter Fury and he's got a good amateur background. I think hughie will do well as a pro.

Im kinda impressed by Hughie Fury. For a man of his size, dude seems to be pretty quick and Im really liking his jabs..

Another rumour I heard was that he's trying to fight Tony Thompson on the Fury-Haye undercard!!

Yes I read that too but Thompson had signed to fight Pulev and that is happening. I also read Andrzej Wawrzyk was offered the fight but he turned it down. IMO Thompson is far too much of a step up for hughie at the moment. Hughie needs to be fighting at the domestic level, taking on the likes of sprott, fraudley, sexton, big larry etc. Hes 18 years old and I don't see the rush when he's still learning lots in the gym and getting better each fight. It wouldn't be good if he stepped it up early and took a beating. I think Peter will know what's best for Hughie and I will trust his judgement, but I do think he shouldn't rush with hughie. But he should keep doing what he's doing and keep him busy and gaining more experience.

I'm not sure on that one, he use to be an amateur and pro though and comes from a fighting family. Hard as they come really.
