Fat Eddie Chambers vs Hughie Fury

Eddie Chambers confirmed this on his Twitter page. Thoughts? Make the card more palatable? Seems a bit of jump for Hughie

BIG jump for Hughie, very surprised.

Eddie looked in great knick in photos he posted recently, looks to have shed a bit of chub and put on some lean muscle.

Big test of whether Hughie is the real deal or not.

What day did he announce it?

It says 12 hours ago... So assume just after midnight in the UK... which is where i think he's now based

13 hrs ago, which would have been April Fools Day in the States.....

Raf he's just joined Team Fury, is trained by Peter and it was posted on April Fools Day

Bingo

Tbh I thought that's why they'd make the fight... saw a weakness in a biggish name up close

ESPN running with it now - if nothing else at least I wasn't caught out alone

Chambers is highly skilful, totally relaxed in the ring but has zero power. The journeyman he fought the other night was laughing at him whenever Chambers showboated (which, presumably he had to in order to draw a lead).

Difficult to see how he troubles any decent heavyweight (granted there are few of those about).

Great gatekeeper for the young 'uns, though (in the same way Kevin Johnson is). These are the guys Joshua needs to be in with next year.

Like the look of young Fury...Seems to be more aesthetic than most heavies...

Jury is still out but has more natural talent than Tyson..

Is he big enough though ??

6'6" without Tyson's lard. He'll never been an AJ, but presuming he grows into his frame a bit I'm sure he'll be fine.

Boxrec is carrying this fight now.......

Just spoken to Peter Fury about this and he said he is unaware of this happening.

Seems a rather lazy April Fools joke... Maybe that was the genius of it.

Joke or not Fury wins for me

boxrec have this listed for july, with a number for tickets, could be happening

SkySports also reporting it... You lads could have had the exclusive. At least the site is a page one result when you search "Eddie Chambers vs Hughie Fury"...

For legal reasons I must state, the term "Fat" was a typo, I meant "Fast"

Fatty Arbuckle has just tweeted:


@Champfasteddie: it was A April fools joke..apparently ESPN & Skysports fell for it..I will never fight @hughiefury that's family! #

lol, well played fat Eddie. Can't believe boxrec got it wrong though... I mean they had numbers for tickets and everything

Yeh, cracking April Fools considering the scale of who fell for it!
