London, England – (February 17th, 2025) – Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury was today announced as the latest addition to the GBM stable, having signed an exclusive long-term, multi-fight agreement with the UK’s fastest-growing professional boxing promotion.
Riding a three-fight win streak since returning to competition last year following a near three-year injury layoff, former British heavyweight champion Fury – son of noted trainer Peter Fury and cousin of recently retired former world champion Tyson Fury – intends to make 2025 the year he enters world championship contention again.
Fury, 30, previously came within touching distance of securing the WBO World Heavyweight Championship when he lost a controversial majority decision to Joseph Parker in 2017, a result he has long categorised as “a robbery”.
With a wealth of experience disproportionate to his age, including tenure of the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight Championship and WBA International Heavyweight Championship, Fury is aiming for three fights in 2025 as he looks to build towards mandatory contender status.
“I’ve enjoyed working with GBM and I am excited to be signing this multi-fight deal. I’ve been constantly in the gym and I’m coming for all these so-called top heavyweights soon. They can’t avoid me much longer and I’m going to spoil their day in the sun. I’m going to be busy this year and whoever wants it can have it. Call my team – I will be there!” Hughie Fury said today.
Peter Fury, father and trainer of Hughie Fury, echoed his son’s sentiments: “Hughie is back in action and we are working with Izzy Asif to cement a big fight for Hughie this year. GBM have pencilled in Hughie’s next two fights for April and May. He’s ready for them all and we can’t wait for so-called experts to eat humble pie. Action is needed and Hughie is ready to deliver it.”
Izzy Asif, GBM CEO, saluted the signing of a world-level heavyweight: “Hughie Fury is a world-class fighter with immense potential. The heavyweight division is wide open right now and the timing is perfect for Hughie to step up and emerge as one of the dominant forces in the division over the coming years. With our exclusive broadcast partner DAZN, we are looking forward to joining Hughie on the road to becoming heavyweight champion of the world,”
The first fight of Fury’s new contract will take place on the main card of GBM’s upcoming event at York Hall, London on Friday, April 4th as he kicks off his 2025 campaign in the nation’s capital.
Further announcements for the card will be made shortly.
