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

[ross]

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.

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?
