The "new" Hughie Fury

Post by rd350lc »

Was listening to the old wireless last night and there was a piece with Buncey and Hughie talking about how his acne problem really affected his health badly and he said he could only bench press 10kg ! when at it's worst ( sounds unbelievable ). He said he is totally transformed now meds have sorted his problem and he is stronger than ever .

Anybody think now his health is sorted he will carry more threat ? As to me that his lack of power seemed to be a real stumbling block to a otherwise talented prospect .

As an aside he also seems like a quiet and fairly unassuming bloke and more likeable ( maybe boring to some) than his cousin.

He's 22. Still a baby. Great skill & I enjoy watching him although I can see why some wouldn't.

In today's boxing world he can win a title & still be learning his way up to World Class (a la Joshua).

I'll reserve judgement on him for another few years but wish him the best of luck.

Whats caused all these spots on his back? Maybe he needs some 'steroid' cream from the gp to clear it up.

The bar weighs 20kg. My 11 year old could do 30, my 20 year old nephew 100k, probably more. He's exaggerating.

I believe his explanation. It wasn't like he was super strong or full of energy, there was blatantly something wrong with him. He only got by on his skill.

10kg?

Another one on the incredibly long list of the completely ridiculous straight out of the Fury camp.
