Hughie is with Warren isn't he? I would have thought they'd move heaven and Earth to get that in the UK. It's got 12 rounds written all over it.
The time of the fight will be in the morning?
Fury's gotta go for it - Great news for the Human dartboard :cool:
it'll be on straight after good morning New Zealand so prime time for us.Quote:

Warren makes a big song and dance about signing a future HW World Champ, and now we know how much he values him! Not fucking much.
You would have thought Warren would've pushed the boat out to get this, you can't tell me he can't make money with a total purse of $3 million!! Dollars mind , not even Sterling . A HW World title fight with one of your Stable for just £2 and a bit Million? Is it Aussie Dollars? That's even less!!
Hughie has a 50% ko rate to Parkers 82% it's the boxer vs the puncher. Parker will win it!
Hughie has a real job on his hands trying to get a decision in New Zealand judging by the Ruiz Jr fight. But then, his cousin also did in Germany...
I thought Takam deserved a draw and Ruiz at the least a draw if not a close win. Fury will need to win a lot of rounds clearly to get the nod. Very even fight on paper.Quote:

I just watched the Parker-Ruiz fight for the first time (was away ill when that happened). Didn't score rd-by-rd but thought Fatty edged it. As far as styles go, it has no bearing on the Hughie fight, but flick and skip better bring a horseshoe to have a chance.
Parker should have about 4-5 mil sized crowd.
