HUGHIE FURY is ready to show how good he really is.

The cousin of WBO, IBO and WBA heavyweight king Tyson Fury is set for a huge step up in class on October 29.

Fury, 21, will take on unbeaten Andy Ruiz on the undercard of his cousin’s long-awaited rematch with Wladimir Klitschko. And the winner will be mandatory challenger for whoever is the victor in the main event in Manchester as the bout is a WBO final eliminator.

Fury is only a young man for a heavyweight – much younger than IBF champion Anthony Joshua, 26, and even our recent Olympic silver medallist Joe Joyce, 30.

So this is a big step up for him at such a young age but one he can certainly win. Fury’s trainer and father Peter has never held back in saying how good his son is.

Now he really is stepping up to the plate against the Mexican-born Ruiz, who has yet to lose in 28 pro bouts with 19 of those wins by knockout. If both of the Fury family win on the night it could leave us with an awkward situation, but we will come to that if it happens.

I know some people are still unsure about the younger Fury but he has won 20 professional fights all with a debilitating skin condition. Fury was on tablets for the problem but they were making him tired and lethargic.

We sent him to a skin specialist and the expert said it was the worst case of acne conglobata he had seen in a long time. But he has changed his diet to help clear up the problem and will be 100 per cent on October 29.

Fury has won all 20 fights with the issue so how good is he going to be now he is fully fit? There have been doubts about the main event going ahead on October 29 in Manchester.

But I expect an announcement to confirm everything is going ahead as planned soon.
