London (16 August) Peter Fury believes young heavyweight star Hughie Lewis Fury is not your “average 18-year-old” and is “100 percent ready” for Shane McPhilbin.

 

Hughie takes on the former British cruiserweight champion over eight rounds on the Kid Galahad undercard at the Magna Centre, Rotherham, September 14th, live on Channel 5 from 8pm in his first big step up as a pro.

 

“Shane’s a tough lad and he’s got a lot of experience in the amateurs and in the pros,” Peter Fury said.

 

“He comes to fight, so I imagine with the training he must be doing, he’ll be on form.

 

“But, 100 percent Hughie is ready for this challenge – he’s not just an average 18-year-old – you can expect to see the best Hughie Fury to date.”

 

The unbeaten teenager, who outpointed Moses Matovu in his last contest, will be aiming to improve to nine straight victories since his debut in March and McPhilbin will be the first British fighter he has faced.

 

McPhilbin, 27, is a dangerous opponent, boasting a professional record that includes  eight wins with five knockouts.

 

The former British cruiserweight champion will certainly not be looking for anything less than a win.

 

Having faced the likes of Michael Sprott and Enzo Maccarinelli, McPhilbin brings a wealth of experience to the ring and poses a big test for the young star.
