WBA #4, IBF #14 heavyweight Hughie Fury (26-3, 15 KOs) dominated Christian Hammer (26-8, 16 KOs) for five rounds on Saturday night at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England. The bout ended when Hammer couldn’t continue after round five citing a bicep injury. Hughie is the cousin of WBC champion Tyson Fury.
WBA #1, WBC #3 middleweight Chris Eubank Jr (31-2, 22 KOs) punished Wanik Awdijan (28-2, 11 KOs) for five rounds. Awdijan couldn’t continue after round five citing a possible broken rib.
WBO female middleweight champion Savannah Marshall (11-0, 9 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Lolita Muzeya (16-1, 8 KOs) in two rounds. A barrage of punches prompted a referee’s stoppage. After the fight, it was announced that Marshall and Claressa Shields will box separate opponents on the same card on December 11.
— Hughie vs Wilder…the time has finally arrived…
….. in a game of tiddlywinks.
I think Wilder’s power would be the biggest edge for him. Hughie is no Tyson that’s for sure. LOL
Well, at least Wilder can get even by beating up Tyson’s cousin.
Savannah has too much power for Clarissa Shields.
She’s too plodding and slow for Shields now.
time for Fury to fight a top guy
Why? He fought mediocre guys and lost. Needs to beat one of them first. Chisora is the go to guy for that.
Shields tried to duck Marshall by going to MMA but she knows that she can’t and still continue to call herself the best woman in boxing. I think Marshall beats her and possibly inside the distance. Savannah has some good skills and legitimate pop in her punches.
Don’t bring on young fury to quickly he is moving in right direction, he could be very big he has right family on his side.
If only Wilder would take some sound correction about his one handed technique, he would become awesome.
