    I didnt say anything about venue. I just know Wilders keen to unify the belts and Parker hit him up a week after Ruiz.

    Sounds good. I was also thinking Lucas Browne since hes close by, had a title and might be keen to go.

    Rather Parker move on and fight someone else.

    "I know exactly what it is - their moral compass has broken in half - a nasty fracture of the moral compass. It's not just Hughie, the whole camp has" - David Higgins from Duco.

    "That's boxing. Sometimes this sort of thing goes on. They didn't appear to want to come to New Zealand."

    Fury has probably been juicing and putting on lean muscle...he's probably been self testing positive and now run out of time.......good travelling man" I'll fight any one any time anywhere. Yeah, right. Hughie has now turned down fights Whyte, Deonkey and AJ. He is getting a reputation.

    The wbo should test him if he's got nothing to hide

    Lol thats pretty much everyone other than Hughie Fury.

    The thing I dont get is, this was Hughies biggest payday, 1.7 million! A title shot! Its about the money, he couldve just tried like James J Braddock and taken a fall for 1.7 million dollars that hes never ever seen before in his life. Unless!...unless he's gotta a bigger money fight just put together or, he's using drugs and knows he'll come up positive. This is my speculation as I dont believe he's injured and Im trying to make sense of it all.

    Sounds like Hughie is like Tyson................look what Tyson did to Vlad.................

    Why not have Wilder fight in neutral territory against someone who can fight back? Winos from the alley is Wilder's only chance..............

    I don't think anyone believes he is injured.

    If he is, why aren't they disclosing what the injury is?

    It just doesn't stack up.

    The proof is right in your face and you have gone to ground.

    Excellent suggestion, if you offer the money up-front to put the fight on in the USA later this year, I'm sure Team Parker will be up for it.

    Duco have already said they won't deal with the Furys again unless they "pay a big, big sum of money up front. Then the trust issues disappear."

    Forget about the Fury's. They've had their chance.

    Big Joe needs to move on.

    And he is.

    It was good the WBO gave Parker the green light straight away, and an indication of what the WBO thought of the Fury withdrawal.

    The WBO aren't off the hook as far as I'm concerned.

    They have allowed Hughie Fury's promoter to "play" the Kiwis.

    They installed Hughie as the mandatory at the behest of his promoter despite the fact he hasn't fought anyone, insisted on purse bids despite the fact Hughie never had any intention of fighting in NZ & on the eve of the fight have said Parker can have a voluntary if the opponent is chosen from the WBO's top 15.

    The WBO are as culpable as the Fury's in terms of what's gone on. They've done more than simply allow it to play out. They've actively facilitated it.
