    Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury Feels Healthy, Very Motivated To Impress

    Heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury is determined to put health issues behind him as he returns to the ring against Ukrainian puncher Andriy Rudenko on February 21 in Monte Carlo.

    Hughie, cousin of world-title contender Tyson, has been sidelined since May due to illness, but is now back firing on all cylinders and ready for the biggest test of his unbeaten 14-bout professional career.

    “I'm just delighted to be back training and to have a big fight on the horizon,” the 20-year-old said.

    “The last eight months have absolutely killed me really. I've spent my days doing nothing and just getting really bored. I was basically watching films all the time. I was out of the gym completely. All I could do was swim. I had to stick to the medication and do exactly as I was told.

    Rudenko is not an easy opponent for a come-back fight after illness. Good luck to Hughie, but I hope he doesn't need it!

      I'm looking forward to this one.

      If Hughie beats Rudenko, it means he's for real.

        Really tough fight for Hughie. Impressed with the selection after such a long layoff.

        I saw him live vs Browne and it was a pretty tough and relatively close fight.

        He could easily lose this one if he's not on his game.

          I wouldn't have put him in with a tougher journeyman like that but I don't really understand the health stuff he was going through. Best of luck to the guy. I have seen some of his stuff that made me think he was more of a fluid natural talent than Tyson.

            Hughie should be English champion by now. The BBBofC are weak for not forcing John McDermott to defend!

              Hughie is/was a real talent. I hope his illness has not taken a toll on him.
