Hughie Fury vs. Michael Hunter | Sky Sports - 29 October 2022 (POSTPONED)

[Pukka Cheese]

Postponed again. Hughie has an infection.

Bad news for both men if true. Hughie (as usual) will get grief here but he shouldn't. He has obviously got ongoing health problems. I hope he can get over them and reignite his stagnating career. Hunter should be allowed to move onwards and upwards.

Should just skip straight to Dubs V Hunter.

I don't even see that as being competitive
Then again, I don't see Huggie vs Hunter as being entertaining either.
Huggie was in one entertaining fight against Gorman, well one round of it was, but that was years ago.

Sorry Mick, the Sam Sexton KO.
That was entertaining when Hughie (my phone autocorrects to Huggie for some reason) let his hands go in that fight. Just wish he did that more.

Is it confirmed that this is off?

Not officially.

NoSmoke put a tweet out..

Maybe Boxxer are looking options before they officially announce a postponement.

Ah right, they’re usually on the money but they’d need a replacement given it’s the headliner so I get that they’ll look to do something with it before making an announcement.

Who could they get against Hunter in Birmingham realistically.

Lord have f ucking mercy.

Huggy Fury is one fighter I can just never take to to.

Ah, the legendary Sexton ko, where we were all temporarily convinced Hughie had turned the corner. He fooled me for sure

Bakole rematch maybe?
Not great for shifting tickets.... but then neither was Hughie.
Its actually something id be interested in and didnt even realise there was a card was in brum

Who’s Bakole with?

He beat Yoka in May.. what’s he waiting for. He should be getting out by now.

Hunter’s confirmed this is off. Amazing it’s been a week since the rumours came out and nothing announced re: the show in Birmingham.

Hunter says they’re looking at the Dubois fight. Can’t see it happening.

It's needs to sort itself out..

Not a chance Dubois takes as low reward high risk an opponent as Hunter as his first defence.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fury has ongoing symptoms of long covid.

The Fury's called David Haye all the names under the sun when he rescheduled.

Watching his fights make me feel like I have some sort of lingering disease.

My favourite Fury quote ever is


‘I’d fight even if I had two broken hands.’

No Tyson. No you wouldn’t.

[Glass Joe]

Dont think too many people would even notice if Hughie never boxed again.

[maverick23]

So from what I can tell it looks like this show is cancelled. Leaves Sky with just the womens card in the U.K. in October after a September just with the disappointing Liverpool show (granted they missed out on Shields/Marshall).

Loads of promoters and networks involved. Few confirmed shows and even fewer confirmed quality fights.
