Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury Ready To Face Anthony Joshua in November

[Butt stuff]

is that what boxing is now, anyone who wants to test themselves against the best is now considered to be cashing out?

Well he ducked Whyte, who has been shown to be several levels below AJ. But now he wants to go straight to a title shot?...

If he wanted to test himself against the best he could beat a good contender to put himself in the title shot.

Time to render the 1st fury uncontious.... The kid is seriously gonna get flattened .....won't last 3 rounds against AJ

[Redd Foxx]

Lol, who would criticize Wilder for this? It would be his second best win after Stiverne.

Lol? As in, Lol you don't seem to realize several of Wilder's opponent's still rank higher than Hugie, even after losing to Wilder?
As I said, I like Hugie, but he hasn't done anything to indicate that he should be fighting for a world championship.

yeah fair enough suppose it would be a big step up for him. But i think it would be a good fight and if hughie loses its not the end of the world, got many years ahead of him

You guys don't seem to realise that Hughie is actually a good fighter, I would consider him AJs best opponent if they fought.

That doesn't make it OK. Fighters still need to work their way up the rankings. Joshua has had training wheels attached to his world championship. I am not looking to see either one lose but this is not a good win for Joshua or a smart fight for Hugie at this point.

whats so bad about it. Two young fighters, an olympic gold medalist and a world junior champ both unbeaten fighting each other. I'd much rather this than him fighting some bum

[soul_survivor]

Hughie aint ready.

[Tomjas]

Will this be before or after his doping charge is determined?

Golovkin fans wouldn't understand.

Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong but you're happy with AJ fighting bums, but now you're not happy if AJ fights Hughie? Hughie would be his best opponent to date. He is more deserving than 'kneecap title capturing' Martin or 'Mansour problems' Breazeale.

You're wrong. I'm not happy about AJ fighting bums. As others already pointed out to you, Fury should have fought Whyte or at least someone with a pulse and earn this shot. Just because AJ is becoming a can crusher doesn't make it fair game for anyone to have a world title fight. We need standards.

I hope Hugie wins but I'm not down with this fight.
