I think it can be salvaged . First thing is to re begotten the purse for this fight with Joseph . Because that is where the risk is. Paying 4
Million in prurses is crazy for nz . Good on Duco for paying so much so we can have down here. Deontay was paid half joe purse in the USA in feb and Washington got 250 i from memory not 1.2 like hughie was getting. If they lose a boat load it will be hard to win the bid again . Hopefully wbo don't re purse bid it

I still call BS. Lower back injuries are the easiest area to fake.
Doctor- " So Hughie where does it hurt?"
Hughie- "Ummmm, my lower back."
Doctor pokes the lower back.
Hughie says "ouch".
Fight off.

A charitable view could see a correlation between not wanting to fly economy class with a back injury, and trying to move the fight to the UK to avoid the flight.
I'm not sure though..

Duco offered two business class so that doesn't gel.
Fury's Doc said 3 or 4 weeks last Friday so jump on a plane get your back soaking in some NZ hot pools and we can have 3 or 4 weeks of extra promotion. Fight can still happen

Quote:Ironically, Higgins predicted on air that Fury might cite a back problem. He was suspicious and believed there may be another reason, such as Fury being knocked out during sparring.
I wonder what he heard

The UK Fury supporters on other boxing forums are saying as much Sham.
