Hughie Fury will fight Patrick Korte at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on May 11. This match is part of his comeback journey after overcoming health issues, including Covid. The fight will be featured on the undercard of the Lauren Price vs. Jessica McCaskill world title bout.
Fury, a professional heavyweight boxer and cousin of Tyson Fury, recently won against Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko in April at Magna Centre, Rotherham. This was his first fight in nearly three years. His record stands at 26 wins and three losses. The upcoming encounter with Korte marks an important step for Fury, who aims to re-establish himself among the top names in boxing.
Patrick Korte last fought in 2022, defeated by Dempsey McKean via a third-round stoppage. He holds a record of 21 wins, three defeats, one draw, and 18 knockouts. The bout against Fury presents an opportunity for him to bounce back from his previous loss.
The announcement came via X on a BOXXER promotion platform alongside another intriguing matchup featuring undefeated light heavyweight Lewis Edmondson against Joel McIntyre.

Fury had previously faced setbacks due to illness that affected his ranking and lead to being withdrawn from top-tier fights like the proposed bout with Michael Hunter. Well-known for his long and languid fighting style, he fights effectively from the outside using precise timing.
