Hughie Fury to fight Patrick Korte on Jessica McCaskill vs Lauren Price card in Wales

Former world title challenger Hughie Fury faces Patrick Korte in a heavyweight clash on the undercard of Lauren Price's world title fight against Jessica McCaskill on Saturday May 11 at the Utilita Arena Cardiff, live on Sky Sports.

Fury (27-3, 15 KOs) is looking to get his promising career back on track following an extended period out of the ring.

The 29-year-old returned to action last month, scoring a points win over Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko. Having previously mixed at world level, Fury will be aiming to get back into title contention with a victory over Germany's 'Big Patrick' Korte (21-3-1, 18 KOs) in the Welsh capital.

Fans can look forward to another exciting contest in Cardiff with undefeated light heavyweight Lewis Edmondson set for action against British rival Joel McIntyre.

Edmondson (8-0, 3 KOs) claimed a points win over Dmytro Fedas last time out at the Bournemouth International Centre in December and will look to extend his unbeaten run as he targets a fight with fast-rising star Ben Whittaker.

McIntrye (20-8, 5 KOs) a former two-time English champion who has fought many of the top names in the domestic scene will provide an acid test for Edmondson and prove whether ‘The Saint’ is ready to step up in levels.

English Champion Mark Jeffers will also defend his Commonwealth Silver super middleweight title against Scottish Champion Darren Johnstone.

Jeffers (17-0, 4 KOs), who is currently ranked #3 with the EBU, is proving to be a dangerman in the 168lbs division. The 26-year-old from Chorley stepped in at short notice to defeat current British and Commonwealth Champion Zak Chelli to claim the English and Commonwealth Silver Titles in July 2023.

Jeffers followed this up with a convincing points win over Germaine Browne at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool in January to retain his belts.

Johnstone captured the Scottish super middleweight title with a first-round stoppage win over Ben McGivern. Johnstone sent his opponent to the canvas inside the first stanza before the fight was stopped at the end of the round due to a cut above McGivern’s left eye.

They join a stacked undercard in Cardiff that also features undefeated featherweight Rhys Edwards (15-0, 4 KOs) up against former British champion and WBA No 1 contender Thomas Patrick Ward (34-1-1, 5 KOs) for the WBA Intercontinental title.

Newport super middleweight Kyran Jones (9-0, 1 KO) takes on fellow unbeaten Welshman Lewis Howell (3-0) and Cardiff super featherweight Kane Shepherd (4-0, 1 KO) meets Birmingham's Ishmael Ellis (14-8).

Also in action is Swansea heavyweight hope Moses Jolly (8-0, 6 KOs), who continues his quest to become Wales’ first world heavyweight champion.

History maker Price, the first Welsh boxer to win Olympic gold, has the chance to write her name in the record books again by becoming the country’s first female world champion when she attempts to dethrone current welterweight ruler McCaskill and capture the WBA, IBO and Ring Magazine World Titles.
