    I knew this fight was questionable, we had yet to reach a conclusion to Hughie's UKAD positive drug test, Can Hughie compete for the belt with a failed drug test? Can Peter Fury even travel to NZ.

    Parker will be granted a voluntary if the Fury fight falls through, who should hr fight? Would love to see him face Miller if not Hughie.

    If they **** this up too everyone should just freeze them out. Seriously, enough is enough and they need to leave the sport if they're not going to take things seriously.

    Yeah every big fight for Hughie has fallen apart, he's lucky to even be getting a title shot he's fought no one except Rudenko and has been so inactive. I like Hughie but it isn't look good for his career if they mess this up.

    The Furys should be banned permanently from the sport

    Oh dear, what will we all do?!

    But seriously, this wasn't a bad fight for Parker at the moment.

    I'm not sure about that, Hughie isn't as bad as Tyson so I think he deserves a chance but Tyson is another story. He helped put life back in the division by dethroning the king but then messed it up by basically disappearing, now we have to wait for someone to become king again.

    Yeah stylistically Hughie is all wrong for Parker. It's a winnable fight because Fury has been inactive and has fought no one but he really has the style to make JP look bad.

    Hope they are telling the truth because Peter Fury has a history of making statements which fail to manifest in reality lol. Not sure why the would wait till the last two days to sign but if they do then good fight very winnable for JP or Fury.

    I think it's a visa issue on Peters part. He wasn't allowed to USA for Cunningham card. Could be the same outcome here. They have been trying to get the fight staged in the UK. It's their own fault for not winning the purse bid.

    I think they will sign then if he does get refused a visa don't be supprised if their is a "injury"

    13 hour time difference means diddly squat. Why wait until the last minute Fury? If I was guaranteed 40% of a massive purse, a chance to have a title shot, and a trip to paradise....I'd have my crayon sharpened and ready to sign.

    Heard of email ffs?

    Sounds good, but the big question is why Hughie's team haven't signed it earlier?

    As if they're so incompetent as to not work through the night to get a multi million pound deal across the line. Expect them not to sign/pull out then receive criticism and blame it on an anti-gypsy media witch hunt.

    I think people are treating Hughie very unfairly here.

    I happen to know for a fact that Hughie has come down with an illness that may prevent him from taking the fight.

    A suspected bout of chicken pox.
