Now that boxing!

Damn has he already fought? What happened?

Always makes me laugh when I watch him. He's class and has some real spite in his punches, but just looks nice a really nice guy that couldn't hurt a fly haha.

How fast would you move him on, considering the quality in that division? Maybe a fight with Curtis Woodhouse would be good?

Just have him fighting on a regular until he is 8-0, have him and Joshua on nearly every Matchroom card I'd say until they have rattled up 8 to 10 wins.

Joe Gallagher moved Scotty Cardle along very well with the help of Matchroom, sure he fought on something like three consecutive shows over a month apart each fight. IIRC I'm sure he actually fought twice in the same month as well.

There's no point rushing these guys after they turn over, they still have to go through their apprenticeship in the pro ranks, but I don't see why a professional fighter, fighting for the main part journeymen shouldn't be fighting 4-6 times a year.

Despite getting them to 8-0 quickly I am not proposing rushing them. I am saying I like the way Hughie Fury is being moved along. He hasn't fought anyone that is really going to challenge him but has been the 6 round distance a few times now. Then around this time next year we can start putting them into fights that are going to move them up the British rankings and start thinking about title fights (area and English title fights that is.)

I'd say a pro fighter IDEALLY should be fighting every 2 months & once 10 rd level it should be 3-4 months.
Hearn says he lets his kids fight on Goodwin & coldwell promotions to get them out.

Lightning speed, but another Olympian we had also had great speed I want to see how Campbell takes a shot before I start calling him a world champion in the making.
