I'm not a fan of Tyson Fury, I think he has been given way too much credit for a paper thin body of work. Hughie, like his cousin, does more talking than fighting, but apparently wants to get back in the ring. I reckon Fabio Wardley vs Hughie is an interesting one for both of them. For Wardley, he gets the Fury name on his resume, and this appears to be a reasonable lateral or slight step up at this point in his development. For Hughie, it is not a risk - free fight and he is past the point where he can take two soft touches per year and stay relevant - he needs to take meaningful fights.
this could be a reasonable proposition for both of them, andd the winner can take it up a notch (Annderson, sanchez etc) after this.

Ahhhhhh, who cares……….
Risk averse is in all Fury DNA lol. But my point is that he doesn't have time to be risk averse. He could make some cabbage by fighting on Joshua's Saudi undercard against someone like Wardley, even Wilder (as someone in this thread suggested). Maybe take on Ruiz, or Whyte, or Ajagba. Someone with a little bit of brand recognition and not a pushover, and on a card that has lots of eyes o it, like the AJ Ngannou card.
I'm not sure they would let him anywhere close to one of those cards unless Tyson stipulated it. How about Ali Eren Demirizen? Turkish pressure fighter, it would be interesting to see him chase Hughie all over the ring.
I don't dislike Hughie but he's not the most exciting fighter. I don't think he's bad but he's pretty risk averse and lacks pop. He's usually in boring fights even when he's competitive.
If we just accept the fact it's going not going to be exciting, how about David Adelaye or Frazer Clarke?

I'd rather see Wilder get demolished by Big Bang but Fury V Wilder might raise a few eyebrows. As bog average as Hughie is, I'd still fancy him to beat Wilder.

Why hasn't he fought in so long?
I remember thinking he might actually have a decent career plan by doing the opposite of what everyone else does. Go in with a good standard of opponent very early and learn fast, even if you cop a few defeats on the way. He was pretty competitive too and could have been a world champion at 23 with some friendlier judging.
I'm sure that's all gone now but it's unfair to write off his early career.
