Hughie Fury fighting Andy Ruiz Jr.

[ross]

Seemed like a logical fight for both, figured Ruiz probably needed it more. It seems like a lot of fights fall through for the Fury camp, but could just be a case where they jump the gun announcing them? If there was never anything actually in place for these two to fight, don't say it's happening.

watch the two YouTube links above that I posted. Video interviews of Ruiz Jr and his trainer both talking about fighting Hughie in Manchester.

Also, Dan Rafael has posted this

looks like he's another basket case like Danny Williams

Well ok, but not signing the contract and pulling out of a fight are quite different things, which is kind of what I was saying. I don't think Ruiz is in shape to be a serious contender, but this seems like it would have been a big opportunity for him to be taken seriously, if he thought he could win.

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.

No idea if they will take it. Will probably depend on what Thompson asks for. The fight with Ruiz was going to be a WBO eliminator so im thinking they will ask the WBO who else they will accept in an eliminator first so they dont lose a potential high ranking opportunity.

[Primo Carnera]

It's plausible.

Hughie is gonna fight AJ now... yeah, course he is

[Dia bando]

Hughie best forget AJ maybe a big payday but Hearn has stated the money he wants miles apart.!
I don't blame Hughie he wants a shed load of money, as he will loose if they fight now or later.
Fury is no HW Champion in waiting he is no puncher and he is about British level at best.
His dad may think so but he is his dad, I have not seen anything thing to strike fear into any of the top contenders Hughie has to offer.

Trying to figure out the money involved in Hearns offer. He said the Fury wanted a 40/60 split. Hearn said they wanted "almost" double than what he offered. Youll never know the truth.

Hughie is definitely above British level.

His results against Rudenko, Arias & Kassi compared to some other top contenders are very good.
