Hughie Fury will secure a world title shot in 2020, despite defeat to Alexander Povetkin, and belongs with the best heavyweights, says trainer Peter Fury.
Hughie will be back in the ring on Saturday night against Pavel Sour in Monte Carlo on Saturday, live on DAZN and Sky Sports.
Back in August, Hughie suffered the second defeat of his pro career when he lost a twelve round decision to former world champion Alexander Povetkin.
Despite the loss to Povetkin, Peter Fury is confident his son will get back in the mix to secure a world title shot in 2020.
Hughie signed a co-promotional deal with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom earlier this year.
"With the team around us now, I think we'll get the world title fight," Peter Fury told Sky Sports.
"I think Hughie will get his world title shot next year anyway. He's right up there, he's in the mix with the best of them. He's fought the best and this is his time. We've fixed all of the problems hopefully and away we go on fight night.
"Let's just look at the facts here - we're not looking at somebody who has got wobbled or badly beaten, or anything. He ticks all the boxes, he can box, he can hold a shot, he can do the 12 rounds. They are only tweaks that's needed, so he will get there. Whether you put it down to experience, his age, there's a combination of things why it doesn't happen and click in. There's one thing for sure, he's learning on the job and he's took the right fights to get the right amount of learning and realise where he's going wrong."
