He will probably fight some Eastern European journeyman next week I doubt he will fight on the Blackpool card.
He was always ever going to fight a journeyman on this fighter, doubt he will fight in Blackpool either. If his fight next week is very short then likely to fight in Blackpool I would imagine but with his style and lack of punch power (based on him pre illness) that his fight will last a good few rounds.
How so ? Last thing I heard was UKAD had some sort of internal issue and have postponed the hearing yet again. If the Furys have cheated UKAD should present their case or drop it. It's been confirmed by the BBBoC that Hughie is still licensed to box
It's the Furys who were dragging everything out, lying to the press about any charges even existing and generally muddying the waters as further as possible. No other fighters hearing has been dealt with like this - the Furys are dodgy as **** but for some reason you keep faith with them. I don't know why. And I have no desire to debate with you whether or not all top athletes are in drugs. It's irrelevant to the situation at hand.
How can the Furys be dragging everything out by lying to the press ? How does that work ? You can't drag out an official hearing by telling porkies to the newspapers. How would it even serve their interests to drag the thing out at this stage in the game ? The last thing I heard was Frank Warren saying UKAD had postponed it because of an internal issue. The press reported the same thing. Warren and the Furys say they want the thing dealt with. No one has come forward to suggest that isn't the case. The Furys are dodgy as ****, OK. I agree with that. But that doesn't present the merits of the UKAD's case at all. As far as you are concerned they are 100% guilty, despite the fact that you aren't any more privy to full details and merits of the prosecution than myself. You automatically assume the whole fault in the delay rests with the Furys. You assume their guilt and you assume UKAD could have done no wrong. I'll wait for due process to be served and won't make any judgments either way until I have some information to go on. While I suspect the Furys have taken nandrolone I haven't seen the full case against them or heard the defence. Everyone deserves a fair hearing and due process. The alternative is the lynch mob tabloid mentality you seem to favour. And I don't know why.
I wanted the case to be dealt with quickly - UKAD weren't allowed to speak on it apparently, why is that? The only answer that makes any kind of sense is a gagging order which we certainly know that their new best mate Frank Warren knows all about. Lying to the press certainly looks dodgy and the Furys whilst claiming there was no case to answer we're preparing their defence for the hearing which they initially got delayed whilst they looked to get fights in/cancel fights to maintain the facade that they weren't banned and then have their comeback straight away after it was dealt with after being issued a back dated ban. The problem they're having now is after being jerked around UKAD have decided to **** over the Furys by making now dragging this out further which is now making life difficult for them as they want any ban issued so they can get back to business. It's petty but it's what happens when you try to undermine a whole organisation. That you would equate having an openly reported on hearing with a lynch mob mentality is on you. I'm just interested in the truth and at the minute team Fury appear pretty dishonest in their conduct. You'll not find any comments saying anything else like that from me before they started engaging in this nonsense and in doing so damaging the reputation of the sorts marquee division.
This is all speculation. You don't know what's going on so your filling in the gaps. You're constructing a version of events that puts the Furys at primary fault and "makes sense" to you. It might turn out you're correct. Or it may be something else entirely. But I guess it's less fun to just say you don't know exactly what's going on. Maybe there's nothing to report because the hearing hasn't happened yet ? The "lynch mob tabloid mentality" is assuming with certainty that the Furys are guilty and at fault whenever any delay occurs or wherever there's a lack of information. You can't yet prove any of the things you've speculated on (gagging orders, backdated bans etc.) but you say "engaging in this nonsense". You might well be right but I'll wait and see, thanks.
Being more distrustful of the party that has repeatedly lied is hardly what you've described but whatever mate.
There is a pending court case bought about by the Fury's and Hennesey sports against UKAD and the handling of their case and its subsequent leak in the press. That's why there has been no comment from any of the Fury's regarding this matter.
The internal issue I believe was an adjudicator who was found to possibly have a conflict of interest. He needed to be replaced. It all seems a bit far fetched and long winded, I think the case may be dropped due to details being leaked to the press.
Except there has been numerous comments from the Furys regarding the case - they just turned out to be lies. As for failed tests being 'leaked', you do realise that it's perfectly normal for governing bodies to announce test failures. See Sharapova or a host of other recent examples.
Well, you can't compare ones that are announced against the ones that aren't announced. You can't weigh what you can see against what we can't know. What's normal these days, I don't know. None of this seems perfectly normal.
The bizarre thing is tha Hughie Fury actually is confirmed as a licenced boxer. So the system is clearly broken.
Kamil Sokolowski (4-10-2) was announced as tomorrow night's opponent. But it seems the fight has been pulled, as has next week's fight. Due to WBO rules and contracts for the Parker fight.
