It's on Eurosport. Haskins is on at 8.30 so I guess Hughie may be shown after that either live or off tape

Hughie would do well to win anymore than the British title, I cannot see it myself. Really think he is over rated.

IMHO Anthony Joshua is a man and far more mature and along the ladder than Hughie, a slight step up in class for him next time out should suffice , no need to be silly and push this lad i don't think :box:

You know mrpedigree, I thin Josh is better then Hughie it looks to me as if he has more about him, more composure and stands like a boxer. I think Joshua is going to be a big thing, but as you say the next few fights will prove what he's worth, and a step up should show us. After 2 fights I think he could beat Hughie, but no point at the moment, wait till there is a few pounds on the table. I can see Joshua going all the way. I hope im not dreaming and he turns out to be another fraud just like Audley Harrison

Lets remember the lad Fury is just 19 and fighting grown arsed men , where was me you or Joshua at that age ?
Maybe i am being kind ,But what i am saying is it a little early to compare him to older and much more mature fighter ? :box:

Which version the the title would he have to win to be called the youngest ever? could he win a crappy title like IBU for instance.

I think Hughie might be fighting these bums a little too regular and he is probably getting lazy and bored in there.
I think he needs to step it up a little, he isnt learning anything fighting these guys and i dont think he is motivated.

Put him in with someone like Zach Page, Daniel Peret, Tom Little or Remigijus Ziausys.
