Hughie Fury hopes to defy the odds after 17 months of inactivity and win a world heavyweight title from Joseph Parker for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing.
The English boxer challenges New Zealand's Parker on Saturday for his World Boxing Organisation belt in the first boxing event at the indoor area since a terror attack killed 22 people and injured dozens more following the end of a concert by pop star Ariana Grande on May 22.
"My heart goes out to the families and on September 23 I'm brining that belt back for them, bringing some pride and joy back to Manchester," Fury told reporters in a conference call.
