Povetkin hasn't fought since losing to Anthony Joshua which does play into Fury's hands. Hughie is a good fighter and his losses have only come up against good fighters.
If Fury is on form he should definitely win.
The Russian is another good fighter, of course - he has the heavyweight size, boxing ability and experience, but is he now just that bit too long in the tooth?
Hughie is a mover who doesn't get hit, and stays out of the way. Povetkin is a monster puncher when he sets his feet and swings hooks.
Hughie will out-box Povetkin and win on points.
I'd like to see Hughie meet Povetkin head-on, and fight in bursts. Box and move but meet Povetkin as he comes, that would wear Povetkin out.
Povetkin is too strong and will pressure him. I can't see Povetkin stopping him though, I just don't think Hughie will do enough to win on points.
Hughie will lose on points.
Hughie could be a cruiserweight campaigning at heavyweight, and he's getting in with a real heavyweight who can bang. Hughie will beat a lot of heavyweights but, against people of a certain level, he will struggle.
Hughie is very effective, even though he's only a young pup. Real fights make real fighters - and Hughie has had real fights at a young age. He is 24 - by the time Hughie is 27 you could potentially see a very good heavyweight.
Hughie is an old-school clever fighter and will be one step ahead of Povetkin.
If Povetkin gets on top and puts his shots together he could put a dent in Hughie, the Russian is a proven world-class operator. But Hughie knows how to use his height, reach and range and his coach gets the best out of him. Hughie will beat him on points.
