Unbeaten heavyweight Hughie Fury (8-0, 5 KOs), the 18-year-old cousin of Tyson Fury, is making a very public call out of vastly more experienced David Price-conqueror and two-time world title challenger Tony Thompson (38-3, 26 KOs). Dailysport.co.uk reports that organizers want to put the bout on the September 28 megacard featuring David Haye against Tyson Fury in the MEN Arena in Manchester. “I have the speed and power to beat Thompson, but if he won’t take the fight we will look for someone else with a good rating,†Hughie is quoted as saying.

The Thompson camp is already in deep negotiations for an elimination showdown with IBF #1 rated Kubrat Pulev, which could net Thompson a third world title shot with a win, so the question has to be asked: Is Hughie targeting Fury for publicity knowing “The Tiger†already has a seemingly better option? Stay tuned.
