Hughie Fury

Why would you say he's overrated?

Dont think you can say a 19 year old is over training. He's had an illness - only natural he doesnt look as good as previously.

I'd say Peter Fury is underrated. He's a terrific trainer.

That's not true at all. Hughie sustained avoidable injuries in his first year - activity at his age is, of course, important; but unbroken heavy training will wear him down.

Peter knows boxing, but he was guilty of pushing Hughie too hard.

Like what? What injuries that could have been avoided?

I just don't agree really. Hughie hasn't really had any tough fights. They are glorified sparring sessions at Best. Sparring with Chambers and Tyson is much harder than the fights he's had.

And if I'm not mistaken, Peter has never lost a pro boxing match as a trainer.

HUghie wasn't pushed hard, the guy faced the worst possible opponents LOL

He has had illnesses, which may well slow down his progress

top coach Peter Fury has updated the situation:

peter fury. @peterfury · 3h
Hughie in Poole today to see if virus is now gone. He will start steady training 3 times a week till end of month.

I don't expect much from Hughie. He is so far from fighting any top guys. I doubt he will be as successful as Tyson F.

Peter Fury has updated yesterday that Hughie is 70% and should be back to 100% in a month or so

He expects him back fighting in October
