The WBC champion's cousin is looking for a championship of his own.

Hughie Fury wants to fight Daniel Dubois after taking on Robert Helenius, in pursuit of a WBA world title.

The WBA governing body have ordered WBC champion Tyson Fury’s cousin and the 38-year-old Finnish fighter to make a fight, in an event that could move the winner up the rankings and closer to world title when Oleksandr Usyk’s belt comes up for grabs next.

"That can happen. He wants a big fight now," promoter Ben Shalom told Sky Sports.

Fury wants to find out if beating Helenius will set him up a for a WBA ‘regular’ title fight, with that belt due to be contested by Daniel Dubois and Trevor Bryan.

"He also wants the winner of Daniel Dubois vs Trevor Bryan [who are set to contest that title]," Shalom added.

"He would also like to fight Bryan before Dubois, if possible."
