    Well injuries happen but people been calling this for weeks. Ive been asking for sources, maybe im just not cynical enough, maybe too eager to defend fellow Brits. Im hugely dissapointed with this. No more should we listen to team Fury when they talk about how David Haye shafted them. These goons are even worse. I may calm down, find the Furys very entertaining but fukk them. Alot of people saw this coming, i didnt, but im with them now, i dont believe there is any injury.

    People would of booked hotels, booked plane tickets, may already of gone over to New Zealand. These rich turd Boxers and their rich turd promoters may care about themselves, care about their careers, they certainly dont give a fukk about the fans.

    Thing is, do the Fury's behave logically? :)

    Your theory does have merit, but I doubt Eddie Hearn is offering anything near $1.5 million.

    $1.5m NZ? Approx £750,000? Or are they paying US dollars, which would make it approx £1m. Either way, I reckon Hughie would earn more vs Joshua.

    I was thinking aloud more than anything because often when fighters pull out with 'injury' there's a commercial reason. But yeah, you're right I'm applying logic to hedgehog munchers lol

    Not surprised in the slightest. I honestly believe they are both serving drug bans and are hiding it through legal proceedings.

    Hughie hasn't fought for almost a year and while he's going through the motions of a fighter who isn't banned, Tyson Fury did the same when suspended in the build up to the Wlad rematch that never happened. Never thought for a second he'd step in the ring with Parker. And he won't be the first Fury to clearly fake an injury to get out of a fight.

    Tyson Fury talked about making a come back early this year but so far nothing to suggest he's looking for an opponent let alone setting a date for a return any time soon.

    I don't expect to see either of them in the ring anytime soon, they'll talk, go through the motions but any fighter looking to make a fight with a Fury is wasting their time. I feel sorry for Parker, but he's young time is on his side.

    That's a very interesting PoV. But why would Parker's team play along with the charade of offering a world title fight to a banned boxer. They would know, wouldn't they? Or at least suspect as you do?

    Was there anything logical about Tyson Fury signing to fight Wlad twice in rematches, and blowing him out twice?

    That was a guaranteed 10 million in the bank. Even if he wasnt properly fit he should have stayed disciplined and taken his beating like a man.

    Of course they will, but exactly why do you wish the promoters who got shafted to get shafted?

    You think Wlad knew when he was preparing to fight Tyson and Tyson was suspended and then hid that fact with the fake ankle injury?

    Parker and team Duco were duped.

    How kind, El Genio. What you hope for then is the damaging of Parker - because he suffers along with Duco.

    What an a55. Parker is one of the good guys in boxing, why would you hope for his support network to be screwed - especially after being screwed by the bad guys in boxing?
