Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury expects to defeat Kubrat Pulev on October 27 in an IBF final eliminator in Sophia, Bulgaria, then plans to take down unbeaten WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. “I have always been confident of winning that Joshua fight anyway,” Hughie told The Independent. “It is the fight that we have always wanted, and [the Povetkin fight] has only made me more confident. He just didn’t have much of a game plan against Povetkin. And early on in the fight, when he was caught at the end of the first round, I really think he was hurt. It made him fight a lot more cautiously, and even though in the end it went the way that I thought, you have to say that he made hard work of it. There’s a lot of vulnerability there!”
