    I've not found this on any other news source, the story seems very strange

    I really hope Hughie doesnt get an injury and have to pull out, now that would be a real shame and a suprise.

    stuff.co.nz is quite reliable on NZ news, not so much anything international.

    Fair enough, really hope the fight happens. Have a gut feeling that something will go wrong.

    I wonder if they have backup if Fury quits before he gets to the ring or if they just cancel the whole thing.

    Fury can't do anything, they lost the purse bid.

    Anymore any top level hw fight is 50/50 at best to happen, and this involves a Fury, so I think we'll be VERY lucky if it comes off.

    When I first heard about Huggie still hadn't travelled to NZ, I already started to wonder. If this is true, then I can see him pull out knowing that he can't count on the judges favoring him.
    We all know the chances of Fury stopping Parker are slim to none, so location and judges are key.

    True, but if they can offer enough money they might be able to persuade Duco to move the fight, although I think it is clearly impractical at this late stage.

    Interesting...but if they are worried about the judges, it's all in their head as the Takam and Ruiz fights were close, but no way a robbery.

    If it involves the Fury family then you're right to have concerns. They're hardly known for their honesty and reliability.
