Hughie Fury fighting with a broken hand? Sure. Finishing the job in five rounds anyway? Go on then. Calling out Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte right after? Of course he did.
At GBM Sports’ Once Upon A Time In London show at York Hall, Fury didn’t just win—he made a point. And he did it with one arm.

“God Gave You Two Hands – Use the Other One”
Fury broke his right hand just two days before the fight, during the final moments of sparring on Thursday. For most fighters, that’s an automatic pullout. For Hughie and the Furys? Just a mild inconvenience.
“My dad said, ‘God gave you two hands, use the other one. If you can’t finish this fight with one hand, you’re in the wrong business,’” Fury said post-fight.
So that’s exactly what he did. The right hand was wrapped up as tight as possible. The left did the damage. Five rounds later, Dan Garber was beaten, and Hughie was standing there—broken hand, no problem.
“Every punch was agony, to be quite honest with you. But you’re either a fighter or you’re not. I’m a fighter.”
A Win That Spoke Louder Than Any Callout
This wasn’t just about Garber. It was about making a statement. Hughie Fury’s been talking up fights with Anthony Joshua, Zhilei Zhang, and Dillian Whyte. And this win? With one hand? You could practically hear him screaming through the performance: “Still think I’m not built for the big fights?”
Of course, Garber had a little motivation too—his father famously ended John Fury’s career back in 1995. So this was personal. Hughie didn’t just beat Garber, he settled a decades-old family score.


GBM Delivers Chaos, Knockouts, and… One Big Letdown
Promoter Izzy Asif was all smiles—except for the part where his main event imploded last-minute. European light-heavyweight champ Daniel Dos Santos pulled out just three hours before his fight with Bradley Rea, claiming he suddenly felt unwell.
“We’re obviously very, very disappointed that this fight had to be cancelled just hours before it was due to take place,” said Asif. “We’ll be speaking to the EBU to see what the available options may be.”
Still, the undercard delivered.
-
Ben Crocker vs Tiernan Bradley went the distance in a back-and-forth war, ending in a split draw—and sparking calls for a rematch.
-
Emma Dolan retained her British and Commonwealth belts in a composed 10-round decision win over Lauren Parker.
-
Gradus Kraus stole the undercard spotlight, melting Tony Amoaku with a vicious TKO and thrilling the York Hall crowd.
So… Who’s Next for One-Handed Hughie?
Whether it’s Joshua in Wembley, Whyte in Galway, or a Zhang-sized test, Hughie Fury made it clear: he’s coming for everyone, busted hand or not. You don’t beat a man one-handed and then not start calling out the top five.
Let’s just hope this article doesn’t end with me waking up on the floor of a Fury family reunion. I’m not trying to get headbutted by Peter, shouted at by John, or chased through York Hall by Tyson. Hughie—you’ve got two hands, mate. Use neither of them on me.
