Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (20-0, 10 KOs) scored an uneventful seven round technical decision over “Big” Fred Kassi (18-4-1,10 KOs) to claim the vacant WBO Intercontinental title on Saturday
night at the Copper Box Arena in London. At 6’6, the 21-year-old cousin of WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was able to keep the much shorter “Big Fred” at bay with his jab. Kasi tried to up the pressure with little success. Fury was cut over the left eye after a
round six head clash. In round seven, referee Terry O’Connor called in the ring doctor to look at Fury’s cut and the bout was sent to the scorecards.
Scores were 69-66, 70-64, 69-65.
