    What are the chances that this fight actually happens? Will he be cleared to fight by UKAD? Heard it said that Parker knows that the fight won't happen and he's happy with that as he can choose a voluntary.

    I don't believe anything that comes out of the Fury camp. Those lot and that clown of a promoter Hennessey are a recipe for disaster.

    If his skin doesnt peel off from an allergic reaction to roids, then I dont see why not.

    Its been announced and its officially happening, but we all strongly suspect that either the drugs thing blocks it or Hughie just pulls out.

    I dont think Hughie or the Fury's actually want this fight to be brutally honest.

    Yes his surname is Fury which means there is a good chance that he will mess people about with a late pullout.

    Cannot understand why he has not had a hearing for the drugs allegations and it does appear strange that he is allowed to fight with all this uncertainty.

    If he wins people blame the drugs so all he can win is money.

    Its looking as though hughie is on a drugs ban which has been suspended whilst they appeal.
    This is similar to kid galahad debacle.
    Its looking like theyll lose appeal it will then become public and they will be banned.
    Cant see the fight happening

    I guess Hughie and Peter want the fight, simply because it's money in the bank. I mean, Hughie hasn't fought for a year, Tyson hasn't fought for almost 18 months, so I reckon the Fury Team is due a payday.
    That's why Tyson's talking about coming back too. They all need money.
    Especially true if the UKAD thing is bad, since it's expensive to cover legal costs.

    Mandatory challengers get reasonable pay, and Parker draws pretty well over in New Zealand, it's a payday Hughie should take, certainly.
    But who knows?

    I don't know how they've done it but they've managed to lower the reputation of travellers even further.

    You cannot believe a word they say and there's no way on this planet Hughie deserves a title shot.

    Which comments exactly are you talking about?

    Hughie is not currently banned from competition as his suspension was lifted pending further investigation. Tyson situation is the same but he is banned for comments made to the board. It is possible Hughie will be banned from fighting depending on the outcome of the pending case. Until that has been resolved there is nothing further to say. If he was to fight before the hearing and is subsequently banned, then he runs the risk of a victory being overturned as a no contest.

    Too much misinformation out there and not enough reliance on facts.

    Peter Fury might not be allowed in the country & if he isn't the fight is off.

    Absolute rubbish, do you have any idea the odds on both Tyson and Hughie BOTH testing positive for abnormally high levels of nandrolone on the same day? You have better odds on winning the Lottery Jackpot.

    they werent abnormally high, if that was the case it would have been a clean cut case, they test positive for having any nandrolone in there system what so ever. which is very possible

    this wasn't even an issue what so ever it was basically sorted out a year ago, then suddenly it became an issue around the time fury started taking he's **** talking into over drive

    That's not the case. The level at which a test becomes a fail for 19-norandrosterone is actually really quite high. The level is set at 2ng per ml which means **** all until you realise that to fail it naturally you'd have to be chewing on the offal of an uncastrated boar in the minutes and hours before the test.

    Many control experiments have been carried out to see if a failed test of above 2ng could be achieved through exercise alone. The short answer is no. In one major study they could only find one athlete who had levels that were even detectable following the exercise experiment and these levels were at 1/16th of the unnaturally high failure rate of 2ng.

    In short, there is no excuse. If the levels were high enough for both Hughie and Tyson to fail then it looks bad for them both.
