By Scott Gilfoid: According to Boxingroundup, heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury’s team has made an offer to American heavyweight Tony Thompson to fight the young 18-year-old Hughie. Thompson, however, is calling the offer a lie and he’s not happy with people saying that an offer was made to him by Hughie’s team.
Thompson said on his social media site today “@Peterfuy @tyson_fury, this is a f***ing lie. Stop printing this s**t!. Ain’t s**t to clear up. This is some bulls***.”
Oh, this is sad. Does this mean a bogus offer was made just to get Hughie’s name mentioned in the same breath as a talented fighter like Tony Thompson? Gee, that sounds like name dropping in a way. Was Thompson’s name mentioned to get Hughie some badly needed attention in the media?
