Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury: If I Beat Pulev, Joshua Will Avoid Me For a Bit

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

HUGHIE FURY is not a man of many words. The 24-year-old takes on Kubrat Pulev in a final eliminator for Anthony Joshua's IBF Heavyweight title this Saturday. And, unlike cousin Tyson, Hughie prefers to let his fists do the talking. Instead of coming out with outlandish comments or unsavoury digs in the lead-up to the bout - set to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria - the British Heavyweight champion is simply focusing on the job ahead.

If he's insinuating that Joshua will duck him he's kidding himself. Didn't Hughie turn down a fight with Joshua in 2016?

Obviously Joshua will be looking to fight Whyte most likely on April 2019 and then look to make the Wilder fight, so he's probably right Joshua will look to delay his IBF mandatory if he can.

But if the Wilder fight doesn't happen I see no reason why he wouldn't face the winner of Fury/Pulev. I think Hughie could give Joshua a tricky fight with his movement but he lacks the power and offense to pull off a win.

Lolx.... Fury is too young to be looking for a pay day.
Boy. Concentrate on pulev fight first.

STFU Hughie, you already turned down GayJ's offer before trying to cherry-pick Parker and more importantly a shot at the WBC HW crown held by Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder -- you cant change the past.

Hughie Fury staring to sound like Khan lol....the most 'ducked' fighter in his division.

These Furys live in a world of their own. I'm not even sure he gets past Pulev tomorrow night.

From what I remember, and it isn't much, but what I recall of Pulev from his Klitschko fight was that he plodded around like a cigar store indian; Hughie should win via boring UD

Here we go, another Fury begging for a payday. Boxing must be hard for a champion, you are ducking about 9000 fighters every day, most of them you never heard about...

It's true, it's damn true.
