Heavyweight Hughie Fury is off the Alexander Besputin-Radzhab Butaev card Saturday in Moncao because of illness, Matchroom Boxing has announced.
Fury, coming off a unanimous-decision loss to Alexander Povetkin in August, was scheduled to fight Pavel Sour on DAZN.
“Due to a virus Hughie Fury has unfortunately had to pull out of his fight tonight in Monaco,” Matchroom said in a prepared statement.

Also on the card, Cecilia Braekhus (35-0, 9 KOs) defends her welterweight titles against Victoria Bustos (19-5, 0 KOs).
