Hughie is a 26-3 fighter with 15 KOs. He is also on a 3-fight winning streak. However, he hasn’t fought since 2021, so he is eager to get back into the ring.
The man he’s targeting is Joshua. Pro Boxing Fans, he said: “I’d absolutely blitz him.
“These are my fights. Joshua would have no chance.
“He is a total jerk.” He’s a complete jerk. I think he’s a stiff and it couldn’t be an easier fight.”
It is unlikely, but not impossible that Hughie and Joshua will fight in the near future.
Joshua is trying to get a fight scheduled for August 12, but has run into some problems.
Initial Whyte wasn’t happy He didn’t want to rematch because of the money offered and also because he did not want a clause. AJ has removed the itemIt remains to be seen if the fight is won.
