    Dubois looks very promising but his team would be mad to put him in against Parker right now.

    I think it seems pretty obvious whats happened...

    Parker and his team got messed about by Fury when they used the injury to get out of fighting in NZ. Parker then wanted no more part of dealing with the Fury's rightly so and has tried to make fights with other UK fighters but the WBO (Warren Boxing Organisation) have put there foot down and enforced the mandatory and now he has to Fight Fury.

    Dubois may well have a higher ceiling but he'd very likely lose right now. He's been clipped in two of his last three fights and rocked a little by fighters with less skill and power than Parker.

    Finally someone speaking the truth about Wilder's marketabilty. This fraud is NOT a draw.

    I'm not buying what Arum is claiming at this point. July of what year? The timing doesn't seem possible to me. We sit here today at 23 May and Arum's talking about a fight in July irrespective of the UKAD and licencing issues? Even without those issues, is there enough time to do everything necessary to organise and put this on in July? I am happy to stand corrected if someone can explain to me how what Arum says can be made to happen.

    I doubt Parkers team were that bothered when they found out it'd probably be rescheduled in the UK; it's the biggest money for both. Parker's team - and anyone with any business sense - would want it in the UK.

    I also believe Hughie was genuinely injured, and I also think he's gonna beat Parker fairly handsomely.

    All of which probably makes me a minority here

    And Hughie Fury is? Team Parker don't want anything to do with Wilder, and its got nothing to do with money or marketability. Wilder-Parker would be a huge fight, much bigger and more lucrative than Hughie Fury.

    Why do you, as a fan, care about how much money they make? Can't stand this obsession.

    I don't like the way Arum says "Wilder doesn't bring enough to the table".
