The 27-year-old was due to headline a Sky Sports boxing show in Manchester on July 2.

But the show has now been pulled after Fury's illness.

And Ricky Hatton's exhibition fight against Marco Antonio Barrera, which was due to take place at the same arena on the same night but under a different promotion, is also off.

The heavyweight dust-up between Fury and Hunter will be re-scheduled for a later date, with the AO Arena Manchester still set to be the venue.

The clash with Hunter is a competitive match-up as the winner is eyeing a shot at Daniel Dubois' WBA regular title.

Hughie is the younger cousin of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

He currently holds a professional record consisting of 23 wins and three defeats.

He boxed for the WBO world title back in 2017, losing by majority decision to Joseph Parker.

Since then, he has also suffered defeats to Kubrat Pulev and Alexander Povetkin.

Meanwhile, Hunter's only pro loss came to Oleksandr Usyk five years ago.

The American has also had draws against Povetkin and most recently Jerry Forrest in December of last year.

Speaking previously about taking on Hunter, Fury said: "I take the fights everyone avoids. Michael Hunter has fought the best and is up there with the best.

"These are the fights I want, to show who is the best fighter out there.

"I'm looking forward to this challenge. I believe I'm one of the best fighters in the world and this is another big fight to prove I stand with the top three in the world heavyweight division."
