The show will go on for Hughie Fury, who remains on course to fight twice in a span of five weeks. The unbeaten heavyweight has a new opponent for his March 26 appearance at Wembley's SSE Arena in London, with Dominick Guinn answering the call on short notice. 

The faded American journeyman replaces Nagy Aguilera, who withdrew one week ago due to injury.

Fury is the cousin of reigning World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, but it was the young prospect who has become the hot topic of conversation in recent times. Confusion surfaced as to his promotional status, with Frank Warren's press office announcing a deal in place ahead of his agreed-upon appearance on an April 30 show at Copper Box Arena. 

Hennessy Sport - who promotes the Fury clan - offered immediate clarification that the company is still very much along for the ride, with the 21-year old heavyweight due to fight on the March 26 show. 

There existed the opportunity for an easy out after Aguilera dropped out. True to their word, Hennessy Sport and the Fury family went right to work in landing  a replacement opponent. 

With that came their securing the services of Guinn (35-10-1, 24KOs), once a heavyweight contender but who has spent the better part of the last decade serving as an opponent for hire. 

Saturday's appearance will mark his first piece of ring action in more than a year, with Guinn - who turns 41 in April - scoring a 1st round knockout on a club show in February. All told, he's fought just one round since a surprisingly competitive points loss to then-heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek in Aug. '13. 

At his best, Guinn was regarded as a legitimate Top 10 heavyweight contender. Once the darling of American cable giant HBO, the Arkansas-bred boxer fell from grace beginning with an upset loss to Monte Barrett in March '04, having gone 11-10-1 from that point to present day after jumping out to a 24-0 start to his career. 

These days he is known as a gatekeeper of sorts, a gun for hire but boasting a granite chin, having never been stopped in 46 career fights. 

Fury (18-0, 10KOs) fights for the first time in 2016 after a four-win campaign the previous calendar year.
