The heavyweight scene simmers with familial echoes as Hughie Fury, cousin to the Gypsy King Tyson Fury, seeks to extend his resurgence against the durable but fading Michael Webster. Scheduled for December 6, 2025, this non-title scrap headlines a GBM Sports-promoted card in the industrial heart of northern England, offering Fury a platform to build momentum amid whispers of a potential 2026 title eliminator. At 31, Fury’s technical mastery faces Webster’s gritty opportunism in a matchup that could either propel the Mancunian prospect or expose lingering rust. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the event, including all requested details.
Venue Location
The bout erupts at the Canon Medical Arena, a modern 12,000-capacity venue in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England (GMT time zone). This state-of-the-art facility, formerly the FlyDSA Arena, has hosted iconic nights like the 2019 Joshua-Ruiz undercard and thrives on its passionate Yorkshire crowds, creating a cauldron of noise for domestic dust-ups. Address: Broughton Lane, Sheffield S9 2DF, UK. Promoted by GBM Sports in partnership with DAZN, the event streams live globally on the platform, with UK terrestrial coverage via TNT Sports starting at 7:00 PM GMT. Ample parking and proximity to Sheffield Midland Station ensure easy access for the anticipated 8,000+ sellout.
Main Card Start Time: 7:00 PM GMT / 8:00 PM CET / 2:00 PM EST (undercard begins at 6:00 PM GMT)
Ring Walks for Fury vs. Webster: Anticipated around 9:30 PM GMT / 10:30 PM CET / 4:30 PM EST, as the main event after undercard gems like Fabio Wardley vs. Moses Itauma and Skye Nicolson vs. Carla Camila Gonzalez. DAZN’s coverage includes pre-fight analysis from experts like Johnny Nelson, with timings flexible based on prior results.
Injury Report
Both fighters arrive cleared for combat as of December 4, 2025, following mandatory BBBoC medicals. Fury’s camp emphasizes full recovery, while Webster’s recent injury history adds caution but no current flags.
Hughie Fury: Fully cleared. The 31-year-old battled a fractured right hand (metacarpals) from his April 2025 TKO of Dan Garber, which forced a June withdrawal and sidelined him until September. Rehab under father Peter Fury was uneventful, with 150+ sparring rounds (including sessions with Olympian Delicious Orie) confirming 100% mobility. No swelling noted in recent open workouts; weigh-in target: 242 lbs. Team Fury reports “peak sharpness” post-injury.
Michael Webster: Fully cleared, but monitored. The 30-year-old suffered an undisclosed injury (suspected ankle/foot) in his July 2024 TKO loss to Solomon Dacres, contributing to a brief layoff. February 2025’s UD loss to Yury Bykhautsou was clean, and his camp in Middlesbrough has been injury-free since. Sparred lightly with cruiserweights to build durability; weigh-in target: 255 lbs. Promoters note he’s “battle-ready” despite past stoppages.
Expect a measured start, with Fury probing for weaknesses and Webster relying on his chin—though heavyweight fragility looms.
Fighter Matchups
A generational tilt: Fury’s elegant, Klitschko-esque jab-and-move versus Webster’s club-fighter pressure and resilience. Fury’s size and IQ dominate on paper, but Webster’s experience in firefights could force errors. Tale of the tape underscores Fury’s elite frame.

Key Matchup Notes: Fury’s 2-inch reach edge allows safe jabbing to set up rights, neutralizing Webster’s forward lunges. Webster thrives in pockets but has been stopped twice lately—Fury’s accumulation could break him mid-fight. Decision or late stoppage probable if Webster survives early.
Recent Form
Fury’s 2025 blends triumphs with setbacks, rebounding via activity; Webster’s year caps a downward spiral with back-to-back defeats.
Hughie Fury (3-0 in 2025): Momentum-builder after injury woes. Kicked off February with a first-round KO of Larry Olubamiwo at York Hall, then TKO’d Patrick Korte in Round 2 (May, Rotherham) post-hand fracture scare. September’s UD over Christian Thun (8 rounds, Sheffield) showcased control (78-74 x3), extending his streak to five. Form: W (KO) → W (TKO) → W (UD). Averaging 55% jab accuracy; rust shed, but critics eye power dip.
Michael Webster (0-2 in 2025): Rough patch persists. February UD loss to Yury Bykhautsou (Rotherham, 6 rounds) exposed footwork flaws (down once), following July 2024’s TKO7 to Dacres in English title rematch. No wins since 2023; Form: L (UD). Durable (fought on with cuts) but absorbing damage—55 rounds in last four losses signal vulnerability.
Fury’s streak favors dominance; Webster needs early fireworks for upset buzz.
