By Scott Gilfoid: 19-year-old heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KO’s) still believes that he’ll be breaking Mike Tyson’s record as the youngest heavyweight world champion of all-time. Mike Tyson was only 20 1/2 when he first captured a world title when he stopped WBC heavyweight champion Trevor Berbeck in the 2nd round back in 1986. Hughie just turned 19 last September.
What this means is that if the 6’6″ Hughie is to have any chance of breaking the record, he’ll need to fight for a world title by next year or early 2015. If he fails to do then Hughie won’t be breaking the record.
By Scott Gilfoid: Peter Fury, the trainer and father of unbeaten British heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KO’s), feels that the 6’6″ fighter is moving along nicely with the direction his still young career is going in. The 19-year-old Hughie fought 12 times in 2013, albeit against weak 3rd tier opposition for the most part. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KO’s) will be held out of the ring for the next three months to heal the deep cut that he sustained over his eye during training for his fight agaisnt David Gegeshidze last week. The cut reopened during the the fight after Hughie got nailed by a hard right hand from Gegeshidze. Hughie got he victory by a 4th round stoppage, but having the cut reopened was definitely a negative for the 6’6″ fighter. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KO’s) will be out of action until next month when he returns to the ring to fight Danny Hughes (11-2-2, 3 KO’s) for the WBC junior heavyweight title on December 14th. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Hughie Fury (12-0, 7 KO’s) picked up his 7th stoppage of his still young career with a harder than expected 4th round TKO win over 32-year-old David Gegeshidze (10-5-1, 2 KO’s) at the City Academy Sports Centre in Bristol, UK. The fight was stopped after Hughie hit the badly out of shape Gegeshidze with several clubbing right hands to the head in the 4th. The referee stepped in and waived it off rather than letting Hughie try to finish the pot-bellied Gegeshidze. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (11-0, 6 KO’s) continues with his improbable chase of Mike Tyson’s heavyweight record for the youngest heavyweight champion in facing little known David Gegeshidze (10-4-1, 2 KO’s) at the City Academy Sports Centre, Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom. This isn’t much of a step up for young Hughie from his last two fights against Dorian Darch and Hrvoje Kisicek. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (11-0, 6 KO’s) will be taking another incredibly small step forward with his career this Friday night as he continues to chase Mike Tyson’s record to try and become the youngest heavyweight title holder ever when he faces David Gegeshidze (10-4-1, 2 KO’s) in a scheduled 6 round bout at the City Academy Sports Centre, Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom. I’m starting to worry that the 19-year-od Fury won’t be able to break Tyson’s record because Tyson was 20-years-old when he beat WBC heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick in 1986 to capture the WBC title. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight Hughie Fury (11-0, 6 KO’s) will be back in the ring next month against 32-year-old David Gegeshidze (10-4-1, 2 KO’s) on November 8th in a scheduled 6th round bout at the City Academy Sports Centre, Bristol, Avon, UK.
