After a two-and-a-half-year absence from professional boxing, former heavyweight world title challenger Hughie Fury will return to action this weekend and he'll be confident he'll be able to show his true prowess in the fight.
For the past few years, Hughie Fury has been battling illness. In fact, as early as 2016, Hughie Fury's father, the famous coach Peter Fury, claimed in an interview with reporters that Hughie Fury was often so tired that he could only use about 30% of his ability in training because of a skin condition that caused him to suffer from an immune system condition. After 2020, Hughie Fury was infected with the new crown virus many times and could not recover completely.
However, entering 2024, Hughie Fury is close to full health for the first time. After a long absence, he wanted to make up for the lost time as much as he could. In addition to facing Kostantin Dovbychenko at Rotherham this weekend, he is scheduled to play a mat match in the World Welterweight World Title fight between Lauren Price and Jessica McCaskill in Cardiff on May 11.
"I'm sorry, but my previous matches were all outside the ring. But I've always been interested in boxing because it's my passion. My goal is to reach the top of the World Championship, and I never give up on that. Now my body allows me to start over, and it fills me with joy. At the pre-match press conference, Hughie Fury told reporters.
"To be honest, I was also worried that I would have to retire. But the conviction in my heart motivates me to persevere, I don't care about money, I care about honor, because it's a dream that our family values. Hughie Fury told reporters.
Hughie Fury was already on an upward trajectory before moving away from the Circle, beating Pavel Saul, Marius Vac and Christian Hammer in quick succession. Fortunately, time is still enough for Hughie Fury, after all, he is only 30 years old now. Even so, Hughie Fury is desperate to prove that he has what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
"I've been through all the learning competitions. Now that I'm finally starting to find myself, it's time to start removing the rusty body and getting back into these big games. Now I'm healthy, and that's the most important thing. For me, having a consistent game is the most important thing. If I could play every week, I would be okay with that. I want to play as many games as I can and keep the frequency of my games consistent. Hughie Fury told reporters, his tone full of sincerity and eagerness.
Hughie Fury has a professional record of 26-3 with 15 wins against his opponents. The pinnacle of his career was from 2017 to 2019, during which time he competed with Joseph Parker for the WBO Heavyweight World Title. He also faced former world champions Alexander Povetkin and Samuel Pitt and former world title challenger Kubarat Preev. However, apart from Samuel Pitt, who was not in much better form than before, Hughie Fury lost three other games.
