FISTS OF FURY LOOKING FOR EIGHTH STRAIGHT PROFESSIONAL WIN IN MATOVU REMATCH TODAY, JULY 21

London (21 July) Young heavyweight star Hughie Fury is looking for his eighth straight professional win this afternoon at WonderWorld, Milton Keynes.

The 6’7″ teenager takes on Moses Matovu, the man he beat on points in only his third professional outing at Belfast City Hall back in May, in a rematch, looking to show how much he’s improved and earn his sixth stoppage win.

After a comfortable win over Croatian fighter Ivica Perkovic last weekend at Fairways Hotel, Dundalk, Ireland, Hughie certainly has momentum and confidence on his side.

The 18-year-old, who made his professional debut in just March of this year, fights onShamrock Boxing’s ‘Return of the Warrior’ event, looking to stop the man he dominated to a points win over four three-minute rounds back in May.

This is certainly a good test for the young heavyweight, who is determined to beat Mike Tyson’s record of becoming the youngest ever world heavyweight champion.

And Hughie, the first ever Irish/British fighter to win a gold medal at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships at super heavyweight, will feel confident, having eased past Perkovic and Tomas Mrazek, following dominant wins overLadislav Kovarik at Glow, Bluewater and Janos Finfera in Romania in his previous four fights.

That followed his previous points win over the experienced Moses Matovu and knock-out wins over the previously unbeaten Alex Rozman at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York and David Whittom on his professional debut in Canada.

The bill also features Milton Keynes heavyweight Matt Legg, making his return to the ring for the first time since 2008 after sustaining ligament and cartilage damage to his knee when sparring with Matt Skelton in early 2009.

Also on the card are Marco Stephenson, Eli Frankham, Billy Bird and Mark Douglas.

Doors open at 2pm with boxing expected to commence at 3pm.
