Hughie Fury to fight... wait for it... Sam Peter

Hennessy Sports announced that  heavyweight Hughie Fury will take on ex-WBC heavyweight titleholder Samuel Peter in a sanctioned mismatch.  The fight will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on July 12th to as the chief support to a main even of former world 140-pound champion Amirk Khan vs. India's Neeraj Goyat. How bad is this fight? Peter lost to unknown Mario Heredia (16-6-1) in mid-April, then beat a 2-13 opponent in Cheer's Bar in Tijuana to "rehabilitate" himself. Fury is 22-2 with losses only to Joseph Parker, an ex-title holder, and Kubrat Pulev. Bad fight.
