Whyte already came out and said it’s bullshit. There’s been No talks.

just normal boxing behaviour - name names to try and lure them in

Anyone know what time Hughie’s on? Oddly it’s the one fight I want to watch tonight

Hughies been more aggressive since he came back from his silent ban…. Er I mean his time out

Hughie is boring the crowd to death. Carrying Garber. Wasting everyone's time, most of all his own.

Finally stops him in the 5th.

That was terrible

Sounds like he’s justified in calling out AJ and Dillian Whyte and Zhang with that one.

good to see Poochi still involved in the sport, reffed the Fury fight. Was better to watch than Hughie in there.....

29 wins in over 10 years, and not one of them is what you'd call good. What is the point of him fighting a schmuck like Gerber

Certainly has wasted what could of been a good career suppose some could argue he has had a good career I just think it would could of been better without his father never been a big fan of the way his dads trained him or that girl he trains

its telling that only 2 people have posted saying something about the fury v garber fight - on a boxing forum !

YT highlights



garber is awful yet fury took ages to make any dent

Fighting left handed to drag it out. Sack of poo. Hope neither of them got paid a penny because it does the sport no good whatsoever.

I'm being especially harsh because I like Hughie and think he is very capable.

No that was a fair take, he was padding the fight out IMO.
Definitely not winning any fans with that performance or opponent.

well now that hughie's gone bald surely the man strength will be there soon

Or maybe he is the second coming of Ali and Samson of Manour?

Rememeber when Fat John Fury said Hughie would be the youngest ever world champion lol

To be fair to John, he never specified which world he was talking about.

tbf it wasn't an outlandish ambition at the time. I think the plan was for Tyson to fight for the belts a bit sooner than he did and fragment them if he won - providing Hughie got a shot. After the Cunningham fight they were looking for a title fight (Tyson was mandatory) and it didn't happen, he fought Joey Abell and Derek again to mark time in 2014, had he fought Klitschko then rather than 2015, Hughie genuinely would have been in a position to roll the dice as youngest belt holder.

Hughie was only 22 when he arguably should have won a version of the title, remember.

On a side note, and I'm not sure he knows or not, the source of the Hughie Fury "man strength" meme was Rhino222 on here. He was the first person to use those specific words in relation to Hughie anywhere, as far as I can remember.

There were shades of Ali in there.

What's going on with Hughie? He was fighting guys like Parker, Pulev, Povetkin and Wach a few years ago but since 2024 he's only been in 6 or 8 rounders against very average journeymen. No fights in 2026 yet. He's still only 31. I know he gets some stick but just weird how his career has gone.

still just a kid innit he

I don't remember the last real contender Hughie has faced.
He has wasted his career

Rematch with Dan Garber before being spotted at an American show a few weeks later where he gets interviewed next to Andy Ruiz to talk about a fight that will never happen? And then another 9-18 months off.
