Hughie Fury will fight in Germany tomorrow after an opponent was found at the 11th hour.
The 21-year-old undefeated heavyweight is set for a showcase on the undercard of his cousin Tyson’s world heavyweight title challenge against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany.
Fury, who moved to (17-0, 9 KOs) on November 14 with a two-round stoppage of Argentina’s Emilio Ezequiel Zarate in Bristol, will face German-based Konstantin Airich (22-14-2, 18 KOs) on Saturday at the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf.
Airich, who was born in Kazakhstan, has fought Fury’s fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in the past and steps in at just over 24 hours’ notice, having lost his last fight by stoppage to Ukraine’s Andriy Rudenko, as Hughie looks to maintain –– and advance –– his unblemished record.
