Lascia un commento

(Ottobre 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, Bulgaria, questo Sabato.

 

 

Su Sabato, Ottobre 27, Furia (21-1, 11 KO) dovrà affrontare Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) in un incontro di eliminazione di 12 round al Arena Armyec in Pulev’s hometown of Sofia. The winner that night will become the first in line to face champion Anthony Joshua.

 

 

 

L'evento, intitolato "Fuoco & Furia"Sarà presentato da Epic Sports and Entertainment di Ivaylo Gotzev e John Wirt, insieme al promotore di Fury, Hennessey Sports, e sarà trasmesso vivere nel Regno Unito su 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,” he continued. “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. L'unica perdita in carriera di Pulev è arrivata in una sfida contro il campionato indiscusso dei pesi massimi Wladimir Klitschko in 2014. Britain’s Dillian Whyte e americani Jarell Miller e Dominic 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.”

PESI PESANTI DI CLASSE MONDIALE IN LOTTA PER IL DIRITTO DI AFFRONTARE ANTHONY JOSHUA VS. ALEXANDER POVETKIN VINCITORE DEL CAMPIONATO DEL MONDO

Su Sabato, Ottobre 27, "Fuoco & Furia" si scontreranno, come concorrente dei pesi massimi IBF n. 2 Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev affronterà il numero 5 della Gran Bretagna IBF Hughie Fury in un incontro di eliminazione di 12 round al Arena Armyec nella città natale di Pulev Sofia, Bulgaria.

 

 

 

Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) e Fury (21-1, 11 KO) si contenderanno il diritto di affrontare il vincitore di settembre 22 resa dei conti tra campione Anthony Joshua e lo sfidante Alexander Povetkin.

 

 

 

L'evento, intitolato "Fuoco & Furia"Sarà presentato da Epic Sports and Entertainment di Ivaylo Gotzev e John Wirt, insieme al promotore di Fury, Hennessey Sports, e sarà trasmesso vivere nel Regno Unito su Channel 5.

 

 

 

Uno degli atleti più apprezzati di tutta la Bulgaria, 37-Pulev, un anno, è vittima di cinque vittorie consecutive, compreso un TKO 3 sull'ex campione dei pesi massimi Samuel Peter. Tra le sue tante distinzioni, Pulev è un ex due volte campione europeo e internazionale dei pesi massimi IBF. Sta in piedi 6 ' 4 ½ "e pesa circa 240 lbs. L'unica perdita in carriera di Pulev è arrivata in una sfida contro il campionato indiscusso dei pesi massimi Wladimir Klitschko in 2014. Fury è il quarto avversario programmato per affrontare Pulev, come la Gran Bretagna Dillian Whyte e americani Jarell Miller e Dominic Breazeale tutti hanno rifiutato la lotta.

 

 

 

Pulev, che avrà il suo primo incontro da quando ha collaborato con Epic Sports and Entertainment, dice che Fury è meglio non guardarlo oltre mentre si prepara per questo combattimento.

 

 

 

“Il fatto che Hughie Fury venga in Bulgaria quando molti altri sono scappati la dice lunga,"Ha detto Pulev. “Capisco che sia molto motivato perché questa è una lotta eliminatoria per una possibilità al titolo mondiale. Suggerisco che smetta per un attimo di pensare al titolo mondiale e si prepari per una vera battaglia. Sono già in modalità bestia e ho fame di ritorno sul ring!"

 

 

 

Fury proviene da Manchester ed è l'attuale campione britannico dei pesi massimi BBBofC ed è allenato da suo padre, Peter Fury. Il 23enne è alto 6 '6 "e pesa anche circa 240 lbs. A settembre di 2017, Fury ha subito la sua unica perdita di carriera, una controversa decisione a maggioranza di Joseph Parker per il campionato WBO dei pesi massimi di Parker.

 

 

 

"Ci è voluto molto tempo per realizzare questa lotta e voglio ringraziare tutti coloro che sono coinvolti,"Ha detto Hughie Fury. “Voglio lottare per i titoli mondiali e per farlo ho bisogno di battere i ragazzi al vertice della divisione. Kubrat Pulev è una lotta seria per la posizione obbligatoria e so che devo essere il vero affare per batterlo. Credo che lo farò nel suo cortile sul retro, dove gli altri tremavano al solo pensiero.”

 

 

 

“Vogliamo essere coinvolti in queste grandi notti di combattimenti e affrontare i grandi nomi che guidano la divisione,”Ha aggiunto il padre e allenatore Peter Fury. “Per diventare un campione mondiale dei pesi massimi, devi superare ogni sfida che ti viene posta di fronte. E per Hughie che inizia in Bulgaria a ottobre ".

 

 

 

“In questo giorno ed età, quando alcuni promotori e i loro combattenti optano per le scommesse più sicure, Hughie Fury ha fatto l'opposto,"Ha detto Ivaylo Gotzev di Fury, che ha affrontato la sua parte di ritardi e delusioni nel suo cammino verso questo incontro eliminatore. "Fury ha deciso di entrare nella Tana del Leone, e combatti Kubrat nella sua città natale di Sofia. Questo incontro è intrigante, mentre due dei migliori della divisione si fanno avanti e si affrontano. Ci aspettiamo una grande battaglia dei pesi massimi, che deciderà il destino di un uomo di lottare per il titolo più ambito al mondo: il campionato dei pesi massimi. A tutto il Team Fury - siete i benvenuti in Bulgaria!"

 

 

 

CEO di Hennessy Sports Mick Hennessy, promotore di Fury, suddetto: "Innanzitutto vorrei elogiare il mio giovane combattente Hughie Fury. Non ci sono pantomime e spettacoli teatrali. È solo un giovane, pieno di rispetto per tutti quelli che affronta, e chi crede nel dare ai fan combattimenti adeguati e un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. A soli 23 anni di età Hughie è un talento enorme. Forse non ha ricevuto gli elogi che merita, quindi questo è il suo momento per far sedere il mondo della boxe e prendere atto di ciò di cui è capace ".

 

 

 

"Vorrei anche ringraziare i miei colleghi di Epic Sports & Intrattenimento per far accadere questa lotta. Ci è voluto molto per arrivare a questo punto, ma eravamo determinati a dare ai fan una lotta che meritano. Entrambe le squadre sono entusiaste di questo. "

 

 

 

L'undercard internazionale impilato, insieme ai dettagli del biglietto, sarà rivelato a breve.

Hughie Fury’s health improving; expects strong showing July 9

Lascia un commento

 

Manchester, Inghilterra (Giugno 9, 2016) – Peter Fury, father and trainer of unbeaten WBO #6 rated heavyweight Hughie Fury, recently announced that his son has been suffering from acne conglobata.

Unlike regular acne, which doesn’t impact day to day living and typically is treatable with nonprescription medications, acne conglobata causes extreme fatigue, fevers and joint pain. The condition led to what Team Fury admits was a subpar performance against Fred Kassi, where he won the WBO Intercontinental belt by way of technical decision. This opened the door for critics of his progression.

Following the win over Kassi, the 21-year-old was formally diagnosed with acne conglobata by respected Dr. Ian R White. According to Dr. White, Hughie had problems for more than five years and his condition worsened since it went untreated. He’s since been placed on various medications and is improving daily.

“I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Hughie was only at 30 percent against Kassi and he’s been battling this condition in most of his pro fights,” said Peter Fury. "Dr. White said this is the worst case of acne conglobata he’s seen in cinque anni. Per fortuna, Hughie’s improving. His stamina and overall health are way better now than it was even a few months ago. Dr. White deserves a ton of credit for that.”

Su Luglio 9, Fury risks his 20-0 record against an opponent to be named at the Manchester Arena. The bout takes place as part of the world heavyweight championship rematch between champion Tyson Fury and legendary Wladimir Klitschko. The card is one of the biggest in 2016 and a significant stage for young Hughie to showcase his talent. To ensure he performs on his grandest stage yet, Hughie’s been in an intense training camp alongside his cousin Tyson and expects a big improvement from the Kassi fight.

“I’m feeling a lot better and that has made this training camp much better for me thus far,"Ha detto Hughie Fury. “We still have a month to go before fight night and I’m waiting to find out who my opponent is. Regardless of who it is, I’m prepared for an impressive showing Luglio 9. My team expects that I will be 100% nel futuro prossimo. My plan is to fight for and win a world title in 2017.”
