Hosea Burton calls out Anthony Yarde for British Light Heavyweight clash


(L-R) – Head trainer Joe Gallagher & Hosea Burton

多伦多 (十二月 7, 2018) — Former British light heavyweight champion Hosea Burton has never been one to duck a fight. 事实上, he’s looking for a fight.

Burton has made his intentions known, calling out undefeated Anthony Yarde, man to man, to his face. The two recently encountered one another during Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight week in Los Angeles, 加利福尼亚州, where Burton was on-hand to support his cousin, 愤怒.

Let’s make the fight happen,” Burton told Yarde. “We’re both excited about it. They say I’m not up to you, but let’s get it going man.Burton has gone undefeated for two years, since suffering his lone career defeat at the hands of Frank Buglioni, a fight in which he was winning prior to a final round stoppage. Buglioni has recently retired from the sport, leaving Burton to set his sights on Yarde, rather than avenging his defeat first.

Yarde recently scored a knockout victory over Walter Sequeira, 十月 20 in Brentwood, 提高自己的纪录 17-0 同 16 击倒. Burton, 然而, hasn’t been impressed.

If he’s six foot, I must be six foot nine, because he’s a lot shorter than that,” Burton said of Yarde’s stature. “I would be his first live opponent. Let’s get it on.

Yarde’s world ranking would play well into Burton’s plans in 2019, which include fighting for a world title after recapturing his domestic gold.

This would be one of the biggest domestic light heavyweight fights in UK history. Everyone is already placing Yarde amongst the world’s best, but the fact is, he has to get past Hosea,” noted Adam Harris of Athlete Development and Management. “We believe Hosea is the one who’s ready to go after a world title. Let’s have it out and find out who’s right.

Burton also plans on showcasing his skills in Canada in the new year, following in the footsteps of his cousin Tyson, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

Both Tyson and his cousin, Hughie Fury, fought in Canada early in their pro careers, and have held training camps in the Great White North as well. “Some of the best in the world have been coming to Canada to accelerate their careers,” Harris noted, “including Billy Joe Saunders before his most recent fights and, 当然, Tyson in the past. We have a special relationship with the country, and the fight scene in Toronto is booming in a way we’ve never seen before. We have no doubt Hosea will be appreciated and find plenty of competition north of the border.

Decastro: It’s My Destiny To Be World Champion.

 

 

Bardney, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro (14-0-0) wholeheartedly believes it is his destiny to become World Champion. In just over a weeks time he finally gets the opportunity to make his childhood dream come true, when challenges Accra, Ghana’s Daniel Adjei Sowah (20-6-2) 对于世界拳击联盟 (WBU), Super Middleweight Championship of the World at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

Decastro, 目前排名 #6 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Intercontinental rankings, earned the shot for the WBU World Crown with a solid points victory over West African Boxing Union (WABU) Champion Agoe Ashong (11-2-0) to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth title at Pride Park in Derby back in September.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Decastro could barely hide his joy at the opportunity to fight for his first World Championship.

 

I’m buzzing, I just can’t wait. I mean not only am I fighting for the World title, but will be fighting for it on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s return to the ring, exciting times.

 

My camps gone really well, I’m feeling fitter and stronger than ever. We’re not leaving anything to chance; we’ve covered every conceivable angle.

 

My father Frank has made sure of that, he’s a great coach, I really am blessed that he trains me.

 

We know he’s a banger, but so am I and what’s more I have a better KO ration of 11 在 14 against his 13 在 28 and more importantly I believe I am more hungry for this than him.

 

It’s been my dream since I started boxing as a youngster to win a World title and now I’m just over a week away from making my dreams come true.

 

Especially as I am fighting for the WBU Title, we have history with this Championship at the Bracebridge Boxing Club, as Kelly Oliver whose father owns the club also fought for the WBU crown, at Cruiserweight, so have to win it and bring the belt back to the gym I’ve trained at all my career.

 

Decastro then went on to vent his frustrations over the way bureaucracy had thwarted his previous Championship efforts.

 

I’ve had a really frustrating year or so, yes I won the Commonwealth title last time out but twice this year I was supposed to challenge for the World title.

 

Unfortunately bureaucratic red tape caused the fights to be cancelled, either Visa issues came into play, as with the original planned fight against Agoe (Ashong) in July or worse still unnecessary political interference by the EBU, which scuppered the IBF European fight against Ronnie (Landaeta).

 

This time though it’s different, Daniel has his Visa and the EBU can’t possibly interfere, so no excuses.

 

It’s my destiny to be World Champion, come 8th December, my dreams will come true, I will be crowned World Champion as I owe it to my legion of fans that have been awesome and so supportive.

 

Nathan ‘NightmareDecastro versus Daniel Adjei Sowah for the World Boxing Union (WBU) Super Middleweight Championship of the World, is the main support for the highly anticipated return to the ring of two time WBO World Champion Scott Harrison (27-3-2) against Tackie Annan (11-6-0) at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

McGivern确保轻重标题在硬路历史滨海克拉克顿事件.

马戏团报告: 赞布罗塔迪卡罗

 

论公主剧院在滨海克拉克顿周六晚, 埃塞克斯, 职业拳击后差不多做了一个最可喜的回报海边小镇 80 岁月, 当科尔切斯特的汤米雅各布展示了他的最新拳击推广, 恰当地名为“历史”.

 

在镇以前的职业拳击, 早在二月 1939, 看到爱尔兰的麦克·卡万在当时的最近打开Butlin的度假营击败伦敦的查理·麦克.

 

克拉克顿是在拳击历史悠久的小镇, 虽然自第二次世界大战主要的业余品种, 其实汤米·雅各布斯本人在多次镇在上的克拉克顿码头保龄球馆他的业余生涯中战斗和这项运动的伟人之一是由永生餐厅, 阿姆斯特朗的, 这是美国拳击手约翰·亨利·阿姆斯特朗谁也击败了在英国冠军厄尼·罗德里克的名字命名 1939.

 

它似乎相当恰当的第一个新时代的职业拳击比赛中应该拥有目前世界拳击基金会 (WBF) 国际和欧洲冠军, 以及该事件的启动子, 汤米·雅各布斯, 在对唐道克非锦标赛六轮较量, 爱尔兰的迈克尔·凯利.

 

从一开盘雅各布走上斗争,他的经验丰富的对手, 尽管有刚刚试探性测试刺戳, 但随着一轮进步的作用变得更加全面上, 与雅各布让翻录用油滑的组合,身体和头部之前备份凯利上的绳索.

更在第二相同的初, 虽然必须归功于凯利他,阻止雅各布从具有在第一节的成功完全一样的水平光滑的反应, 然而,随着时钟进入最后 20 秒左右的圆形雅各布开始让与大款裂口的身体随着成功, 以至于从字面上在最后几秒钟凯利被迫采取了膝盖特别恶性左侧后.

 

不幸的是凯利艰难地喘了口气,并上升到他的脚在时间击败裁判李Murtagh的的计数, 停止福利的官方时间 2 分钟, 56 第二轮秒.

 

继拼汤米·雅各布宣布,他之所以进行了非冠军六圆,而不是原先计划的针对阿尔巴尼亚Xhuljo Vrenozi WBF洲际冠军争夺战, 是,他已经提出了潜在的挑战澳大利亚的两位世界冠军萨姆索利曼的世界拳击基金会 (WBF) 十二月世界冠军.

 

晚上的第二回合见院长波特使他的专业首演对阵利物浦的史蒂芬Sunners (2-0-0).

什么是破解一切行动外遇, 从开始到结束都小伙子们真的去为它全力以赴.

 

4闪烁密切的战斗回合后,它是不奇怪的是,结果将是接近, 并关闭它, 裁判李Murtagh的的记分卡阅读 39-38 有利于利物浦的史蒂芬Sunners的.

 

接下来是克拉克顿的自己奔“的Claxican之间四个回合轻量级比赛’ 库克和贝尔法斯特的黄凯芹, 两人均作出自己的亲亮相.

 

第一轮的情侣, 与波特-Sunners, 被如此紧密地战斗,这是不容易的调用每一轮的赢家, 然而,在3日作出决定,更容易一些库克全面登陆了开裂身体杆后迟到了爱尔兰人发到他的膝盖.

 

经过四个娱乐性很强的所有行动回合裁判李Murtagh的的记分卡读 40-37 有利于当地的英雄奔库克.

 

与前面的比赛,这是百年难遇的所有动作惊悚, 以至于这是毫无疑问它是夜的战斗.

 

不得不说真的很享受这场斗争中,这对后希望得到下裤头几个打架就会有一个复赛我很想再见到这两个在彼此的行动, 这是很好的.

 

夜的第四战斗看到伊普斯维奇超中量级罗布·埃尔登他的亲亮相对阵利物浦的李库珀.

 

埃尔登开始硬性, 采取的斗争,以他的经验更丰富的敌人,并让撕裂与大款身体和头部. 最初库珀盖起来,但很快开始了自己的一些大款打击, 然而,在这样留在他的防守一开口,该男子伊普斯维奇很快有一个大的权利,以头送铜须画布利用.

 

铜这让他的脚和行动大同小异静脉恢复, 与埃尔登让撕裂与大款面前了​​支持铜, 库珀再次与自己的大款回应. 随着一轮接近第二分钟, 再次埃尔登发现Cooper的铠甲的缝隙,这一次落在一个大的权利,以身体的利物浦发送到画布上的第二次也是最后一次. 停工的正式时间为一分钟,第一轮的59秒.

 

夜晚的标题战斗看到霍夫的纳维德伊朗和苏格兰的本McGivern争夺它空置职业拳击理事会 (PBC) 银国际轻重量级冠军.

 

争夺它是正确的说法; 这是百年难遇的大逃杀.

 

从一关闭伊朗采取的斗争McGivern, 支持苏格兰人上的绳索,让撕裂与大左和权利乱舞. McGivern理智掩盖起来,等待机会反击, 他做了良好的效果,一旦机会出现.

 

然而,它并不足以阻止伊朗几乎立刻回来了类似有力的攻击. McGivern再次成功应对并初步采取控制.

 

随着一轮的进行,伊朗降落几个开裂拍摄,再次被迫McGivern掩盖的. Irann跟上大款的压力, 而McGivern充分反映了大多数与他的手套,一个大的权利,通过苏格兰卫队有, 摇晃他的核心.

 

McGivern如何去到回合结束, 我只是不知道, his legs were well and truly gone, but somehow he did.

 

Round two see Iran come out hard and fast, however McGivern was ready for the assault, again initially covering up but this time instead of just countering and covering, he spun his opponent and went hard on the attack himself.

 

Round three see McGivern taking the fight to Iran, which led to some great technical boxing ensuing from both protagonists.

 

The next few rounds were fought in similar vein. The final round though was an out and out war; both boxers throwing caution to the wind and an all out slugfest ensued for the entire final three minuteswhat an exhilarating round.

 

After eight fantastic rounds of boxing it was Ben McGivern declared victor by scoring referee Lee Murtagh, 由 79-74 分之差.

 

Have to say whilst definitely the right result, the result just doesn’t convey just how close each and every round, but the first, 是. These two really put on a magnificent show and was a serious contender for the Fight of the Night award.

 

What a great event to welcome pro boxing back to Clacton-on-Sea after a close to eighty-year hiatus, a return clearly appreciated by fans of the pugilistic arts who had packed the historic venue to the hilt almost an hour before the event was scheduled to begin.

TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

 

Lineal Heavyweight Champion opens up ahead of his fight against Deontay Wilder December 1 在放映时间 PPV®.

If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

Catch the full interview: https://s.sho.com/2OmqAAq

什么: 直系重量级冠军 泰森怒 opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® 播音员 毛罗Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay怀尔德 住在Showtime PPV®.

 

 

愤怒, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion 弗拉基米尔克里琴科, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 英镑. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,” Fury said. “[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

重量级对决成为十二月的头条新闻 1 SHOWTIME PPV 住在离斯台普斯中心在洛杉矶 (9 P.M. ET /下午6时. PT). 怀尔德, 他已经淘汰了所有七位冠军挑战者, 将尝试第八次WBC重量级防守. 在他复出的第三场比赛中, 富里有机会成为两届重量级世界冠军.

CONFIDENT HUGHIE FURY WRAPPING UP ‘TORTUROUS’ TRAINING CAMP; ARRIVES IN BULGARIA SATURDAY TO FACE KUBRAT PULEV IN ‘FIRE & FURY’ IBF ELIMINATOR ON SATURDAY, 十月 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

(十月 18, 2018) Britain’s IBF #5-rated heavyweight contender Hughie Fury is putting the final touches on a “torturous” training camp and, with his team, will arrive in Sofia, 保加利亚, 这个星期六.

 

 

星期六, 十月 27, 愤怒 (21-1, 11 科斯) 将面临 Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev (25-1, 13 科斯) in a 12-round elimination bout at the Arena Armeec in Pulev’s hometown of Sofia. The winner that night will become the first in line to face champion Anthony Joshua.

 

 

 

本次活动, 题为“Fire & 愤怒” will be presented by Ivaylo Gotzev and John Wirt’s Epic Sports and Entertainment, together with Fury’s promoter, Hennessey Sports, and will be broadcast live in the UK on Channel 5.

 

 

 

“I made a promise to beat Pulev in his own backyard and that’s what I’m going to do,” said a confident Fury. “Nobody else wanted this tough fight. That’s because they’re not future champions. I know what it takes and what you have to do to become the man. I don’t care if I fight Pulev in his own house. He’s in my way of what I want, and he’s got to go.”

 

 

 

Fury and father/trainer Peter Fury have been pushing it to the limit in their Manchester Gym, training twice a day, six days a week for up to three hours per session. But Fury, the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion, says all the work will soon be worth it.

 

 

 

“It will all be worth it when my hand is raised,“ 他继续. “There are no holes in my game right now. I’m at the top of my craft and once Pulev is eliminated, I’ll be coming for Anthony Joshua. He looked vulnerable in his last fight. I’m the one who will capitalize on those vulnerabilities!”

 

 

 

Despite his supreme confidence, defeating Pulev will be no easy feat for 24-year-old Fury. 37-year-old Pulev is one of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, and a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. Pulev’s only career loss came in a challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship against 弗拉基米尔克里琴科 在 2014. Britain’s 迪安·惠特 and Americans Jarell米勒多米尼克Breazeale all declined to face Pulev before Fury accepted.

 

 

 

“After I walk right into Pulev’s hometown and take him out, something no other heavyweight would even dare to try, everyone is going to be talking about me and Anthony Joshua. I can’t wait to get this job done and move on to the world championship.”

EMILY PUGH VS VERONIKA SIRAJEVA

Saturday 29th September 2018 – Pride Park, Derby

 

Back in April this year Emily Pugh made her professional debut, and boy oh boy did she do it in style. Emily and her opponent Jelizaveta Cerkasova, who was also making her pro debut, put on a master-class.

 

 

 

The contest was a true master-class, but not in the normal sense of the word as used within boxing circles, whereby one boxer ‘gave a master-class to their opponent’, oh no it was a true closely fought master-class of boxing full stop, one of the most enthralling boxing matches in a long, 很久, one that is only matched by the even more recent ‘Fight of the Yearnominated World Boxing Council (WBC) Atomweight World Championship contest between Emily’s fellow British & Irish Boxing Authority licensed boxer, the former WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise Castle and WBC World Youth & International Champion Fabiana Bytyqi.

 

 

 

这个星期六, at Pride Park, in Derby, Pugh is set to step into the ring for her second pro bout, this time the Wolverhampton Girl is set to face Latvia’s Veronika Sirajeva on the undercard of the WBL & EBL European Championship contest between Ross Doherty and Gvido Seilis and co headliner Nathan Decastro versus Agoe Ashong PBC Commonwealth title showdown.

 

 

 

Speaking from her home earlier, Pugh said;

 

 

 

I am very excited to get back into the ring, and more than ready.

 

 

 

I am looking forward to boxing six rounds. I intend to win them every one of these rounds with a strong performance, 很有型.

 

 

 

My professional debut seems so long ago, and I know that I can top that performance and put on a strong fight.

 

 

 

I hope my opponent has worked as hard as me and is ready to give it everything she’s got.

 

Thank you to everyone that has supported me, by travelling to come and watch, to Aspire Fitness who have helped prep me for this fight and my sponsor E-liquid Paradise, who this would not be happening without… 谢谢! I will not let any of you down.

 

 

 

Emily Pugh versus Veronika Sirajeva is a support bout for the Ross Doherty versus Gvido Seilis for the World Boxing League (WBL) and European Boxing League (EBL) European Welterweight Championships, that co-headlines with the Nathan Decastro versus Agoe Ashong, for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth Super Middleweight Championship contest on the Daniel Gray promoted event at Pride Park in Derby on Saturday 29th September 2018.

Kennerdale: It’s Going to be a War on Saturday Night!

 

KENNERDALE Vs PEERS

PBC Silver English Welterweight Championship

29th September 2018 – Pride Park, Derby

 

 

Over the past year or so there’s been a lot of speculation, or should that be desire, about the possibility of an all Merseyside showdown between local heroes Craig Kennerdale and Paul Peers.

 

Until very recently it had been just pure wishful thinking, it had been proposed on numerous occasions and failed to be made, however come Saturday night this much anticipated showdown finally becomes a reality, as promoter Dan Gray decided enough of the talking, if the fans want the fight, they should have their wishes come true and added it to the card for his upcoming event at the home of Derby County FC, Pride Park in Derby.

 

When Dan Gray first proposed the fight to Paul Peers, Peers had told himGood luck mate, others had tried to make the match-up in the past and failed.Not to be deterred Gray not only convinced Kennerdale’s manager Kyle Gallagher that the time was right, but also the unbeaten prospect himself.

 

Speaking from his Liverpool home Craig Kennerdale explained why he decided to take the fight now.

 

I always knew that Paul and I would face each other one day, but always expected it to be much later on in our careers, but when Dan (Gray) dangled the carrot of making it for a title, my first title shot, I just couldn’t refuse.

 

I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for so long, I’ve been around the sport since I was ten years of age and in that time every single training session, every spar and every fight I’ve ever had has been leading to this fight, I can’t wait for Saturday night, it’s my dream to win a title.

I can’t help but think that this fight has all the hallmarks of being a seriously good all action fight the fans will love to watch.

 

I believe styles make fights, the difference in our styles, as well as the way we approach fights make this a very interesting match-up. It’s going to be a war on Saturday night.

 

Like most boxers on the Liverpool circuit, I know Paul’s ability and believe me I’m not taking anything lightly, he’s a good technical boxer with a strong amateur pedigree.

 

I’m unbeaten in the pros and believe me I don’t intend on losing my ‘0’ anytime soon.

 

Although I have respect for Paul, 我在这里取胜. 我在我一生中最好的形状, I’m hitting harder and faster than ever before and because of that I have every confidence that it will be me that lifts the belt come fight night.

 

Respect to Paul Peers and may the best man win!”

Speaking from his new home in the Orkneys, Peers made it clear he wasn’t just coming to make up the numbers.

 

 

 

 

“我真的很期待这场战斗, it’s one that could and should have happened last year.

 

 

 

 

We’re both from Liverpool, there’s no two ways about it the depth of talent in the city is growing all the time. Liverpool has produced so many Champions over the years, everything from English to World Champions, hopefully after the 29th my name will be added to the long, long list.

 

 

 

 

I have every intention of boxing at my very best as I try to win this English title, as will Craig.

 

 

 

 

I’ve seen that Craig is right up for this, he looks even faster now than when I see his training videos. That shows he’s fit and he’s ready, which makes for a good fight, as so am I.

 

 

 

 

It will be storming fight, expect fireworks on the night, there’s so much a stake, not just bragging rights, I want that belt around my waist.

KUBRAT PULEV PROMISING ‘FIRE & FURY’ IN IBF ELIMINATOR AGAINST HUGHIE FURY ON SATURDAY, 十月 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

WORLD-CLASS HEAVYWEIGHTS VYING FOR THE RIGHT TO FACE ANTHONY JOSHUA VS. ALEXANDER POVETKIN WINNER FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

星期六, 十月 27, “Fire & Fury” 会相撞, as IBF #2-rated heavyweight contender Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev will face Britain’s IBF #5-rated Hughie Fury in a 12-round elimination bout at the Arena Armeec in Pulev’s hometown of 苏菲亚, 保加利亚.

 

 

 

Pulev (25-1, 13 科斯) and Fury (21-1, 11 科斯) will be competing for the right to face the winner of the September 22 showdown between champion Anthony Joshua 和挑战者 亚历山大Povetkin.

 

 

 

本次活动, 题为“Fire & 愤怒” will be presented by Ivaylo Gotzev and John Wirt’s Epic Sports and Entertainment, together with Fury’s promoter, Hennessey Sports, and will be broadcast live in the UK on Channel 5.

 

 

 

One of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, 37-year-old Pulev is on a five-fight winning streak, including a TKO 3 over former heavyweight champion Samuel Peter. Among his many distinctions, Pulev is a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. He stands 6’ 4 ½” and weighs in around 240 磅. Pulev’s only career loss came in a challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship against 弗拉基米尔克里琴科 在 2014. Fury is the fourth opponent scheduled to face Pulev, as Britain’s 迪安·惠特 and Americans Jarell米勒多米尼克Breazeale all declined the fight.

 

 

 

Pulev, who will be having his first bout since partnering with Epic Sports and Entertainment, says Fury better not be looking past him while preparing for this fight.

 

 

 

“The fact that Hughie Fury is coming to Bulgaria when many others ran away speaks volumes,” said Pulev. “I understand that he is very motivated because this is an eliminator fight for a chance at the world title. I suggest he stops thinking about the world title for a moment and come prepared for a real battle. I am already in beast mode and I’m hungry for my return in the ring!”

 

 

 

Fury hails from Manchester and is the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion and is trained by his father, Peter Fury. The 23-year-old stands 6’ 6” tall and also weighs in around 240 磅. In September of 2017, Fury suffered his only career loss, a controversial majority decision to 约瑟夫·帕克 for Parker’s WBO Heavyweight Championship.

 

 

 

“It’s taken a lot of time to make this fight happen and I want to thank all of those involved,” said Hughie Fury. “I want to fight for world titles and to do that I need to beat the guys at the top of the division. Kubrat Pulev is a serious fight for the mandatory position and I know I’ve got to be the real deal to beat him. I believe I’m going to do that in his back yard where others trembled at the thought of it.

 

 

 

“We want to be involved in these big fight nights and to go up against the big names that lead the division,” added father and trainer Peter Fury. “To become a world heavyweight champion, you’ve got to overcome every challenge that’s put in front of you. And for Hughie that starts in Bulgaria in October.”

 

 

 

“In this day and age, when some promoters and their fighters opt for the safest bets, Hughie Fury has done the opposite,” said Ivaylo Gotzev of Fury, who has faced his own share of delays and disappointments on his way to this eliminator bout. “Fury has decided to step into the Lion’s Den, and fight Kubrat in his home town of Sofia. This matchup is intriguing, as two of the best in the division step up and face one another. We expect a great heavyweight battle – one that will decide one man’s destiny to fight for the most coveted title in the world – the Heavyweight Championship. To all of Team Fury – you are welcome in Bulgaria!”

 

 

 

Hennessy Sports CEO Mick Hennessy, promoter of Fury, 说: “First and foremost I’d like to heap praise on my young fighter Hughie Fury. There’s no pantomime and no theatrics. He’s just a young man, full of respect for everyone he faces, and who believes in giving the fans proper fights and value for money. 在刚 23 years of age Hughie is a massive talent. He’s not perhaps got the plaudits he deserves, so this is his moment to make the boxing world really sit up and take notice of what he’s capable of.”

 

 

 

“I’d also like to thank my counterparts at Epic Sports & Entertainment for making this fight happen. It’s taken a lot to get to this point, but we were determined to give the fans a fight that they deserve. Both teams are excited about this one.”
