Peter Fury wants Vitali to come out of retirement and fight his son Hughie

[Beanflicker]

That'd be pretty sweet. It'd be the first time two brothers got viciously stopped on the same card since Jerry and Mike Quarry got smashed by Bob Foster and Ali in '72 (with both Fury brothers playing the part of the Quarry's)

A sad day for SoCal boxing and totally unexpected! LOL

They did offer a fight to Hearn for Joshua for Tyson, Chambers and Hughie.

Course they did. I bet anyone that has ever been in camp with the Fury's could beat Joshua (obviously kingpin doesn't count as we all know he took a dive)

Who said that?

Oh you

Ok

Apparently an opponent is being announced Monday (as long as they sign the contract) for Hughie for the 25th. Doesnt sound like they could secure any one top level. Its going to be someone with nearly 50 kos to their name and have mixed at world level. It may be George Arias who isnt as good as Hughies last opponent.....

Colour me shocked.

I was there when Audley beat Arias on the Prescott-Khan undercard. He was shit then. Terrible opponent if it's him.

They have publicly said all the names they have offered the fight and they have also said they have offered them all good money. If they were talking bullshit those names would have come back and said they were full of shit but they arent.

Its down to the risk reward factor. If someone like Arreola was to lose to Hughie would he have been lined up for a shot at Wilder? He would have earnt more money fighting Hughie by a long shot than he will his journeymen fights.

Johnson taking a dive.

Have these guys that rejected the fight been named? Because if they've not been named then why would they need to defend themselves?

I'm not saying Hughie needs to be fighting top level, but there has got to be a middle of the range guy available for suitable progress otherwise what is the point?

[Silkeyjoe]

LOL WTF is Peter Fury smoking. "Here Vitali come out of retirement and fight this guy noone has heard of for fuck all money. Yea those multi million euro fights you could come out of retirement for, ignore them, you need Hughie to cement your legacy"

[Silkeyjoe]

Vitali wont fight whithout a title on the line.

Hughies fighting on the 25th ajuly and they havent managed to secure an opponent yet. No one wants to fight, or rather risk their rankings

The reason for this is that the fight is on a Saturday night, and Saturday is the night cab drivers can make the most money in fares.

Hughies last opponent was better than Wilders, Joshua's, Arreolas, Briggs, Tarvers etc.

You cant say this with any confidence until Rudenko beats someone of note. He pushed Browne close but lost. That doesnt make him good.

He should have got the decision against Browne and regardless, hes still better than the last WBC challenger!
