HUGHIE FURY will earn the chance to fight Anthony Joshua – if he wins his IBF eliminator against Kubrat Pulev.

Fury, 23, will face IBF mandatory challenger Pulev in Sofia on October 27.

The winner will be in line to face IBF, WBA Super and WBO heavyweigh­t champ Joshua in 2019.

Bulgarian Pulev, 37, will have home advantage, but Fury’s father and trainer, Peter, claims that should not matter.

“If you can fight, you can fight, and if you are a world-class heavyweigh­t, then location should not matter,” said Fury Sr.
