Fury v Parker - Purse bids ordered for Feb 1st
Unbeaten Manchester heavyweight Hughie Fury (20-0, 10 KOs) cousin of Tyson, is a step closer to facing New Zealand’s WBO world champion Joseph Parker (22-0, 18 KOs) after purse bids were ordered by the governing body today.
Fury is the mandatory to challenge for Parker’s belt and after waiting patiently for news of a showdown, this is a great update for him and British boxing as his dream of fighting for a world title edges closer.
British Boxers believe that the minimum bid for the fight is $1 million and is to be submitted by February 1st, although there is a chance that both parties could strike a deal before then. But if they don’t, the bids will be opened and the highest will be responsible for organising the fight. Fury who is promoted by Frank Warren will hope his team win the bid as he has previously stated he would like the fight to take place in his home city of Manchester
