What has Hughie Fury said about his time out of boxing?

Speaking to Sky Sports, Fury said: “It’s been one thing after another. I had long Covid then I had other problems. It’s just been a nightmare.

“As one problem came, another was arising. It’s been three years of pretty much hell.

“To not be able to do what I used to be able to do was a nightmare. So just to get back now and put that behind me is a weight off my shoulders.

“The most important thing for me now is getting the ring rust off and getting under the lights and doing what I do best.

“I thought I wasn’t going to box again. From a young kid, I’ve put everything in, nothing else, just boxing.

“I thought that was it. My dreams, of putting in all the hard work and dedication and my life was down the drain.

“I can finally see the light and get into the mix.”
