Hughie Fury Gets First-Round TKO as Michael Webster Retires in Rotterdam

The abrupt finish offered little evidence of his current form during a comeback from extended health troubles.

Overview

  • Michael Webster signalled to the referee that he could not continue less than a minute into a scheduled eight-round bout.
  • Hughie Fury apologised in the ring to the Dutch crowd for the lack of action after the premature stoppage.
  • The result is recorded as a first-round technical stoppage, giving Fury a reported 31–3 professional record.
  • Reports frame the win within Fury’s return from a lengthy layoff linked to acne conglobata, coeliac disease and long Covid.
  • Fury has reiterated plans to rebuild activity and pursue higher-profile heavyweight opponents in 2026, while the same card saw Jeamie ‘TKV’ Tshikeva beat Frazer Clarke for the British title.
