RE: Parker vs Hughie Fury - Infern0 - 04-23-2017
Had enough of team fury now.
If joe still wants to fight on the original date he deserves a knock over job. The big fights can wait till a few months

He replied he would, 100%.

No thanks, Browne is a drug cheat, doesn't deserve another chance

Bet Stu is busy working the phones to see who wants to fight Joe. I just can't believe that Hughie, who has fought nobody and is the mandatory, walks away from $1.7 million dollars and a chance at the title because he's afraid he'll lose in NZ. He'll be depicted as a coward, and no promoter will touch him now. And the WBO will fine and ban him. Bad career move.

Higgins: I don’t think Hughie is injured
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
WBO #1 heavyweight Hughie Fury has been injured in training it was reported in the Herald newspaper and will withdraw from challenging WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker on May 6 in Auckland New Zealand
“Do I think Hughie is injured? No, I don’t. I think it’s make-believe,” Duco Events boss David Higgins told the Herald.
Higgins, who described the Fury camp as “clowns,” said his aim was that Parker, who arrived in Auckland from his Las Vegas base yesterday, would still fight on the scheduled date of May 6 at Auckland’s Spark Arena, but that it would take some time to organise another opponent.
“We want to do the right thing by the paying public,” Higgins said. “We need to show them respect and we will. We as a company need to re-group and make different arrangements and we hope to do that by tomorrow morning.”

Also from another angle, i can kind of see now why frank warren didn't dig deep for the purse bids, unreliable furys aren't worth backing financially.

Take it a step further. Would you want to promote a fighter where you're not sure he'll show up? Woody Allen says, "half of life is just showing up."

I bet the Furies want the fight rescheduled to a date of their liking in Manchester.
