Brilliant vid. Hope its in UK

This fight will ONLY happen in NZ.  And I think Parker wins by UD.  Remember Takam and Ruiz?  Same thing.

Disagree Di for two reasons. I don't think Fury will travel this far to fight Parker in Parker's backyard. It is a big ask to fight Parker at home 13,000 miles away from your base. Secondly Duco are finding it harder to put shows on with Parker due to the cost element and raising the money. How much interest would it generate in England/Europe ? PPV will be an issue. If Horn and Pacman is made in Australia around the same time it spreads Duco very thinly with a large amount of money to be found even with good sponsorship for two major events.

And I gotta disagree with your disagreement! Huge dis-advantage for Parker not fighting in NZ. Parker is the champ, and if Fury doesn't agree (it's not a mandatory), he can fight Price or Miller or even wait and unify with Wilder. Gives Duco a huge advantage in negotiations. The big money will be made when/if Parker fights AJ in London. Remember, Arum is on board, and can make the PPV numbers work.

Didn't the WBO say that Parker must face his mandatory next, that's why they are going after Wilder, as unifications trump a mandatory? I know the WBO hasn't officially said who the mandatory is, but because of the WBO rankings it's likely to be Hughie.

I think there is a high chance that this fight will end up in the uk. I think hughie is mandatory, and WBO will probably release that information soon, I also don't think Wilder will take the fight

Frank Warren just signed with BT Sport in the uk who have HUGE cash reserves (they outbid sky for champions league rights and took 44 premier league games off sky which cost a fortune, we are talking in the BILLIONS) And they are supposedly looking to make a major investment in boxnation, to compete with sky and matchroom

I know parker has Arum, but I question how much Arum will be willing to front up for Parker at a purse bid.

Team parker may feel confident they can beat hughie in the uk.

Personally for joe's good they need to get the fight here, but in a broader sense i'd prefer the fight go to the uk, if Parker gets another razor close decision here, he's going to start getting major heat, I think it'd be good if he goes over there and tries to make a statement.

I can't see Parker winning by UD, but I think he will KO him. Hughie is feather fisted like Tyson but has great purist boxing ability. Because he offers no risk to KOing Parker, hopefully Parker can get in his face and get the stoppage. Hughie has only fought journeymen too so will be stepping up for this

Hughie does have a good body attack and jab, while he doesn't have KO power in either hand he carries enough to deter opponents from coming forward wrecklessly, he's got enough to break a rib or cut your face to ribbons, Tyson Fury as you say also doesn't have power but he stopped Dereck Chisora, who is iron chinned by busting him up with the jab.


I think Parker can win by UD, he does have some advantages in handspeed and combination punches, it'll be a chess match.

If Parker can't KO Takam or Ruiz, he's not going to KO Hughie. Hughie is awkward, fights at range, and Parker will have trouble catching up with him.

It will come down to who has the most amount of money and Duco will be outbid. Sad to say I don't think we will see a lot more of joe fighting in Nz. I believe he should of fought Ruiz in Vegas for the exposure and would have beaten him. You can't be a big fish in a small pond forever.
