City Academy Sports Centre, Bristol, Avon - Tyson's younger cousin Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KOs) continued his record-padding route in an unspectacular fashion by halting Georgian import David Gegeshidze (10-5-1, 2 KOs) at 2:14 of the fourth round.
Gegeshidze, 32, while fresh - even despite being considerably out of shape - belonged in the ring with Fury and matched his opponent's youth and physical prowess with his sudden right crosses and left hooks and jabs. The Georgian was even able to land his uppercut a couple of times. It wasn't until round four, when Fury, 19, began to deliver his punches with any kind of authority.
Fury was overwhelming in the fourth, stalking his badly faded opponent all around the ring, but failed to get a clean knockout. The bout was stopped by referee Jeff Hinds after a huge right hand by Fury to the chin of Gegeshidze. The Georgian wasn't staggered badly but didn't protest the stoppage. Fury looked mediocre in the fight and doesn't look like a fighter to break Mike Tyson's world heavyweight record of being the youngest ever heavyweight champion of the world.
Nevertheless, Hughie will be back to the ring on Nov. 16 and then on Nov. 23. His opponents aren't known at this time.
----------------------------
In the TV-opener, debuting Polish light heavyweight Krystian Nadolski (0-1) was stopped in two by Scott Westgarth (1-1, 1 KO), who scored his first professional win. Nadolski was better in the first, but Westgarth responded well in the second and started to beat his foe to the punch. The end came simultaneously with the bell after a cracking right hand by Westgarth. Nadolski failed to reach an upright position at the count of ten.
