    At the five minute mark.

    Whyte vs Parker II?

    Parker deserves that after the Brit job done to him in the first fight.

    More like, despite no symptoms, Whyte tests positive for COVID and gets bounced ... hence Fury's lack of concern.

    Skullduggery incoming.

    And Whyte's reputation as the most avoided heavyweight would remain in tact.

    I doubt either of them are testing for anything but standard WADA.

    Covid tests are gone in the UK. Nobody does that rubbish anymore.

    Bob Arum will be a no-show because he has Covid.

    Frank Warren was sick at the press conference yesterday and wore a mask to the open workout.

    He may not make it, either.

    $70.00. If the undercard was better, I would buy. But yeah, crap fight. I'll just go to the local bar, get drunk and start fights with other drunk guys.

    Why would they need a stand in opponent? Is Fury upto his shenanigans again?
