I think the fight will go ahead but every time I hear things like they are coming later than first thought I do get nervous

Tyson Fury: If I’m alive I’ll be at Hughie’s fight
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

Former WBA, WBO, IBF heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is undecided if he will attend his cousin Hughie’s May 6 challenge against WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker at the Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.

“It will definitely be a first. Two world heavyweight champions from England (from the same family). I don’t think it will be done again, put it that way,” Fury told BoxNation’s Steve Lillis. “Of course it would mean a lot, it would mean the world to me. I’ll go over there, providing I’m alive or whatever. God willing I’ll be there.”

As for Hughie’s chances? “Hughie’s looking good, he’s training hard and everything’s going to plan – so far, so good…It doesn’t matter if it’s in New York, Hong Kong or China. It’s a boxing match at the end of the day and whoever wants it the most will win it. Boxing is in the mind anyway, it’s not in the physical body or how good or bad you are.”

I wonder if having Tyson there will have a psychological affect on Parker.

Could it psych him out a bit?

Hows it affecting you kiwi................?

It's psyching me out a bit, Sham.

Must be my Irish ancestry!!!

Two good videos that have just come out, the first:

And second:

I like the way Parkers approaching this fight ,
instead of getting into some kind of contest , for who can tell the world he's the most confident
Joes not getting involved
He seems to be just keeping his head in the gym and working hard.

Tyson Fury psyched out Klit, Sham. And I think he'll have an effect on Parker, especially during the press conference and weigh-in. Wait until KB gets involved. It'll be all hands on deck.
