Hughie Fury has never been paid a purse for a fight.

Peter has always covered his costs plus the opponents purse - this is how he has got him fights.

Although they don't sell any tickets, the promoter gets a free fight on the bill and hopefully Tyson will turn up and do a bit of karaoke as well!
He has been paid a few times.
Do you know that for sure?

If so, when and who paid his opponent?

No, I wasn't there when he was paid but I'm pretty sure fighting Kassi and Guinn, on telly, was paid work. Most early on in his career were paid for by Peter when he popped up randomly all over the place.

Glad that's cleared up.

Peter told me the same thing during an interview. Early purses were stumped up.

Some positive news Peter Fury is allowed to enter NZ for the big fight, certainly boosts Hughies chances !
