HUGHIE FURRY is just one fight away from his second world title bout.
Fury, the cousin of Gypsy King Tyson, will be facing American Michael Hunter in a WBA title eliminator fight at AO Arena Manchester on Tuesday July 2.
Hughie is Tyson's cousin and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
The Manchester melee winner will be facing the winner of Trevor Bryan's title defense against Daniel Dubois, which takes place on June 11.
Fury, excitedly, is enjoying the challenge and saying: "I take on the fights that everyone avoids."
"Michael Hunter is a fighter who has won the most and is right up there with the best.
"These fights are what I want to see who is the best fighter in the world.

"I look forward to this challenge.
"I am confident that I am one of the greatest fighters in the World and this fight will prove it."
Hunter is certain that Hughie will be upset on enemy territory. He has also set his sights on a future battle with retired Tyson.
Sky Sports spoke with the 33-year old: "I'm excited for England to show my skills."

"He's in my way, I'm going after the belts, and anyone in my path I've got the right to run them over.
We know he can fight. Is he able to compete with me? I don't believe so. There is only one way to find it.
Hunter, who drew last December with Jerry Forrest, added: "He just cannot punch.
"He's very good. He's a decent fighter, he has some decent skills. He's tall and he is long. He comes from the Fury clan.
"The best thing that we can say about him is that he comes from a Fury, fighting family. This is the best thing I see.

"I don’t believe he’s a great puncher. When you say technical boxer that’s what I see it means that he’s just not a puncher."
Fury has not been in the ring since Christian Hammer's fifth round TKO win over Fury last October.
