I can't remember him turning down wilder, I've got a vague recollection of something to do with Joshua, wasn't that when his leprosy was playing him up?
It was yeah, when he was still beating better opposition than Joshua at 30%. Wilder they wanted more time, Joshua they wanted more dough.

A tad harsh maybe to put the Wilder and Joshua offers in the same boat as the Parker fight but the pattern is, get offered a great opportunity, turn it down for all manner of reasons.
It's not harsh putting those examples down at all. A month after Tyson beat Wlad, he was offered a shot at Wilder. Team Fury's reply was along the lines of "we've had a hard couple of months, we just want to relax and have a good Christmas."
So what's more important? Turkey and getting bladdered or the HW Championship of the World?
As for Joshua, they wanted more dough. Ok, fine. I want a blowjob from Michelle Keegan but that ain't happening either!
Hughie Fury has had a very stuttering career, not all his fault, but who the fuck is he and who has he beat to demand bigger money?
Sometimes you have to take the short end of the wedge , prove your point and then take what you deserve.
