Haha or he is maybe making us brace ourselves as to what might be coming next.

The plan was to **** Parker out of his belt with some mancunian home cooking then line up a unification with the giant glass jawed robot whereby fast eddie could then **** baby hughie for the newly acquired strap with a large wad of cash...

I'm a conspiracy realist...lol

Didn't offer or negotiate the fight but it was very close

I wouldn't have given Hughie much of a chance against Joshua at pretty much any stage of his career so far, but then again, who knows. I do think if Hughie manages a win over Povetkin he can put himself right in the mix.

Maybe had he won the Parker fight he would have fought Joshua in a unification bout.

Big ask for fury but how far has povetkin gone back is my thinking ?.. if povetkin has anything left he wins .. but fair play to fury on taking the chance to progress unlike the " padded out record " brigade ..

Peter Fury, father and head trainer of Hugh Fury, says they would have certainly taken the fight with Joshua - had it been offered at the time.

Coward Hughie Fury ducked Anthony Joshua, Hearn does not want the public to remember that Hughie turned down the opportunity to fill in for Wladimir Klitschko, when Vlad suffered injury leading up to the Joshua fight.

We remember.

Props to Huey for going up the rankings and fighting real contenders. Not the Tom Schwartz of the World.
