[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Big-hitting Yusuf Safa aims to put on a hard-hitting performance for free-to-air Channel 5 viewers when he fights again on Saturday 12th May at the Macron Stadium, Premier Suite, in Bolton, on the undercard of Sam Sexton v Hughie Fury's British Heavyweight Title clash.

I predict a very frustrating career for Hughie now Tyson is with BT and he can't get on the undercards. He's a very awkward fighter and he doesn't have the draw, money or the promotion to get any meaningful fights. They gave up a lot to get Parker to the U.K and it backfired. He now needs to fight loads of bums to get up the rankings again and force a title shot. Could be 2/3 years of low-level opposition for Hughie.

I know loads of people think he's ****, but I don't think any HW in the world has an easy night chasing him around the ring, no one will want to fight him after making Parker look bad.

Yeah he's definitely not **** but he is that really unfortunate combination of someone that's dangerous but quite boring to watch, unless you are a proper boxing fanatic and like your boxing far more than the average joe. He's high risk, low reward and guaranteed to make your fighter look rubbish as well. Not the best package to entice opposing promoters.

It doesn't help that Tyson appears to have taken the lions share of the charisma and personality in that family.

Is that Safa cat ******? Probably not the best use of the term "make fireworks" if so.

Be like a Christian boxer getting some headline about making babies cry or something along those lines with their pedo history.

Hughie would've comfortably beaten Parker if he'd upped his workrate a bit. Agree with OP, he's going to struggle to land any significant fights. I can't see Frank wanting to put him in against Dubois or Gorman any time soon.

I think he beats Sexton easily, he should hold onto that British title as there are some big fights to be made at British level for him.. he could force guys like Dubois and Gorman to fight him if he holds the title, the BBBOC would mandate those fights within the next year and he would get the lions share. I think if he cleans up at British level he can force European fights.

Hughie should take a step back and mature more I think, he's 6'6 but quite light and lacking power, we won't see him in his prime for another 3/4 years.
