TYSON FURY’s cousin, Hughie, will return to the ring at the end of November after six months out.
Hughie, whose dad also trained Tyson, will go head-to-head against Michael Webster in Rotterdam as part of the undercard for Gradus Kaus vs Rostam Ibrahim.
The heavyweight fight will be Fury’s 34th as he looks to make it seven wins in a row since his last defeat, in August 2019 against Alexander Povetkin.
The 31-year-old has been out of action since beating Dan Garber in the fifth round at York Hall in April.
Fury was due to fight again over the summer but had to pull out due to injury.
Earlier this month, his promoter Izzy Asif said: “Who knows, maybe Hughie’s in a decent fight.

“There are negotiations as we speak. I’d like to see him out at least once before Christmas.
“Some huge names have been mentioned in the last four or five days for Hughie Fury. But he needs that activity; he needs that constant run of being injury-free in training.
“I’ve got a message on my phone right here, from a very reputable person in boxing, saying: ‘Any dates on [mystery fighter] vs Hughie?’ I can’t give anything else away.”
That secret man looks to have been Webster, 30, after an announcement from boxing management company GBM, who Asif fronts.
