    Pathetic. I'm a big fan of Team Fury and Peter but they didn't take the Wilder fight on short notice, turned down Joshua and now this.

    I always had my doubts whether this fight would go ahead.

    Going to wait until we here what the official reasons were, but it doesn't look good at all.

    Don't forget he ducked Whyte also!

    Furys are a PED taking joke

    This must be what "fighting men" do.

    I'm really disappointed but not at all surprised, there have been a few little whispers that Fury was going to pull out.

    I don't want to start a rumour or some sort of conspiracy theory but wasn't Luis Ortiz suppose to be fighting tonight on the Berto Porter bill but pulled out with a very minor injury?

    So Ortiz has been in the gym preparing for a fight and is ranked 10 by the WBO.

    Things that make you go Hmmmm.

    Scrap that last post, Ortiz has a fractured finger so my little theory isn't going to play out.

    It would be good to hear the reason why before making any firm judgement on this.
    I believe Hughie wants to fight. It's his father calling the shots here I reckon.

    This is a real surprise, real real surprise

    Half the forum predicted that Hughie would pull out last minute.

    Why sign for the fight in the first place.

    IF you don't want the fight.

    The Fury's are going to find it impossible to get big fights due to doing this too many times.

    Peter Fury blew their credibility on Thursday when he said he was going to do a video with IFL to explain the "antics going on with Parker fight."

    It sounds like they had already decided to pullout on Thursday, and there was no mention of an injury then.

    Look what Tyson did to Klitschko, not Hughie is doing the same thing, nobody should fight either one of them, they appear to be mentally ill..............or something is wrong............runs in the family?

    Hope Hughie gets frozen out now and Parker moves on to bigger and better things. Lost all time and patience with the Fury's.

    Waste of space fight anyway as Fury has stunk out every fight in his career to date and I have no idea how he was fast tracked up the rankings to earn this shot.

    Boente was spot on - don't waste time on this pond life
