Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury is off

"We found out about the injury through the media. They just haven't communicated with us" - Duco talking about the Furys.

 

If I was a boxing promoter, I would stay away from the Furys. Never do any business with them.

 

Sorry, I've been offline. It really wasn't hard to tell. Without meaning to sound arrogant, I'm very good at reading people. I have almost psychic like awareness. So much so, it's probably screwed me over socially.

I could tell with their mannerisms whenever the fight was mentioned. Not to mention Frank Warren constantly mentioning the Davis/Walsh fight yet not saying anything about the Fury/Parker fight and that was a couple of weeks earlier.

It was obvious to me, just like it's blatant that Mr Briggs is never, ever fighting again.

 

Razvan Cojanu has already outdone Hughie Fury..

...he has actually arrived in New Zealand.

 

Fury is crazy for refusing a big pay check..................why does the cancellation not surprise me?

 

A bum has arrived in NZ.

 

At least he turned up for the fight. More than can be said for the quitting Furys.

 

It was amazing how many people predicted Hughie's injury weeks and weeks before hand.

On a serious note, why did the Furys quit on the fight? Nobody believes it was due to injury. But I wonder what the real reason was??

 

Q & A with Joseph Parker on the Hughie Fury no show :

Question : When and how did you find out that the fight with Hughie Fury had been called off?

Parker : I found out on Sunday, I woke up getting ready for training and found out via social media, then I got a call from Kevin Barry confirming the fight was off.

Question : That being so, when you arrived into Auckland and gave an interview out at the airport, even then you didn’t sound 100% confident that the fight would happen.

Parker : We felt through training camp that this may happen.

Question : Being that negotiations have been tricky throughout have you had half a mind throughout training that you might end up facing a last-minute opponent?

Parker : It has been in my mind but I didn’t want to believe it. There was such a good payday on the line for him as well as a world title. I was sure that they would come.

Question : The Fury name is very well known in boxing and obviously, it would have been a great introduction into the UK market which I know you’re keen to expand in to. That being the case how disappointing is it that they have pulled out?

Parker : It’s disappointing because you go into training camp to prepare for a fight and then the date gets changed. So, we reschedule things, we do everything right, we come down here to New Zealand mentally and physically prepared and then this happens. It’s very unprofessional and so last minute.
