    Maybe they think Parker will win and sets up Parker Joshua for next year...

    especially since wilder isnt playing ball and fighting Whyte.

    but don't you think (and i dont know this for sure just guessing) its only good management because Franks relationship with the WBO kept Fury as a mandatory after the pull out.

    And if that were the case and then they turn round and go to sky... thats a massive **** take on Warren.

    The Fury's always talk about loyalty, which is surely the only reason they have anything to do with Mick Hennessy nowadays... so I would be shocked if this isnt on BT TBH

    yeah, its just weird that the furys / hennesy would work with sky/hearn. hennesy hates hearn, the furys seems to be all buddy buddy with warren and boxnation and h fury fights on boxnation cards or hennesy cards, tyson fury doesn' like hearn from my understanding and will fight on boxnation

    it won't be on BT. the fight poster has no mention of boxnation, and sky sports were filming in the fury gym with hughie a couple of days ago....

    Interesting. It must be to build the interest of the Sky viewers as the winner is highly likely to be a future AJ opponent.

    If this happens tho, FW must be spewing... cue a very long rant with IFLTV contracts and all!

    The last few Parker fight have also been on Sky so it would make sense from that point of view.

    Although, Will it be that big of a fight for sky im not sure would they put it on PPV ... probably but cant see it selling that well.

    If Parker comes through it, (which I don't think he will) then Bellew could be his next opponent and EH will be wanting to grow that.

    Thats a good shout actually... maybe he isnt thinking AJ straight away... He is thinking Bellew or Whyte first or both depending if the wilder fight comes off.

    Yeah, Frank will be furious if this happens. The inevitable Ifl interview will be a must see!

    Hughie is supposedly fighting on Saturday night on a BoxNation in a 6 rounder.
    And then it's been reported he's fighting again the following Saturday on Boxnation.

    It would be remarkable if he does get in he ring at all, and more remarkable if he does twice, one weekend after another, and more remarkable still if he does it and then jumps over to another channel for his world title fight.

    According to the Boxing Aslyum podcast... they have a deal to show the fight on ITV Box Office... that would make more sense than SKY... but still a slap in the face to Warren.

    Surely, the fight will be on Boxnation/bt they even had Joseph Parker and fury in the ring together on Saturday night why would they promote the fight like that to let it go to another rival broadcaster.
