1:02 Can Peter Fury plot another famous heavyweight win when his son Hughie faces Povetkin?
He’s totally recovered from that, he’s got no issues at all now. His diet is very simple, very clean food. Lots of vegetables, no additives. Eat healthy, plenty of it.
Are you preparing for a punishing fight with Alexander Povetkin?
He’ll spar between anything from 12-20 rounds. I want him to be comfortable in there. This is his living, it’s his eat, sleep, drink. He’s got to be at home in there as much as he is out of the ring.
There’s four or five guys here this morning. One will do one round, jump out, they are fresh opponents all the time. He’s in there for the full 15-20.
What else is Hughie doing on a regular gym day?
From the morning time, he’ll do 45 minutes on the stationary bike at high-level intensity again, and that is brutal. He’ll come in the afternoon and it consists of six rounds on the pads, he’ll jump that bar, he’ll do a circuit, and he’ll do the body bag. A lot of punch output.
Are you making any changes to his technique?
He’s got all the technical stuff, he’s done it over the years. The only thing he’s learning now – is to come on the front foot more, put more aggression into it, let his shots go more.
With the (Joseph) Parker fight, when he was moving and landing his shots, he was still moving when he was throwing them. You have to move, set your feet, and then throw them. Put meat behind your shots. For 22, it was a fantastic performance, but now we move on, he’s a lot more mature and let’s see what this fight brings.
What kind of performance is he prepared for?
I’m looking forward to him now taking that next step. He can go 12 rounds, we’ve seen that many times, he does the distance very well, but I want to see more aggression out of him, I want to see him more on the front foot, more crowd pleasing. To do that, he’s got to put his hands up, take a few and give a few. That’s the way it is.
