Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Hughie Fury Has Signed Joseph Parker Deal

[joe strong]

I think this is a good fight. I don't pay attention to the Kassi fight. He got a bad cut & the health issues were a problem from what I saw. He still was winning the fight on my card but he did have some tense moments. Things could have been a lot worse but the cut was not caused by a punch so some are making it bigger than it is. They stopped the fight because it was a terrible cut & by rules it went to the cards because it was not caused by a Kassi punch. If it was caused by a punch then it would have been a Kassi TKO win but that is not what happened so no point on making it bigger than it was. Parker/Fury should be a good fight & I'm not sure who wins but Parker has the edge in experience. If he doesn't have Peter in his corner than I think Parker wins but if Peter is there that changes everything. He is a very underrated trainer...

It's the WBO HW division, what do you expect?

This fight is going ahead because Haye pulled to fight Bellew..

The David Haye that attained his lofty #1 ranking by beating Mark deMori and Arnold "the cobra" geksplomfkak or wtf is name was.

WBO heavyweight champion means absolutely shyte all

Yeah you're right, didn't they make Leapai mandatory against Wlad lol

Well irrespective of what anyone feels..

FACT 1:


FACT 2:



So leaving the facts aside, the tribunal were to take the call on the case in Oct, pushed to Nov, pushed to Feb'17 & here we are.. You don't fail a test & walk away..

I gave credit to Fury for beating Wlad, but if he was dirty then he shouldn't be getting credit..

so if BBBoC & UKAD doesn;t have a reputation to keep then its on them.. VADA testing should be recommended for all boxing boards going forward..

B sample also came back clear. People fall to mention this.

Finally someone with sense.

Well yeah.. doesn't mean he was cleared, does it?
If he was cleared, then the UKAD/BBBoC should have given him the green signal & we wouldn't have been talking about tribunal would we..

What happened there was Boytsov was the WBO #1 & Leapai had beat some can to win the WBO Asian Pacific & Oriental titles which put him in the WBO top 10. Boytsov & Leapai was an eliminator. Since Leapai upset Boytsov in the eliminator he took the WBO #1 slot & became mandatory. I have talked about this many times of how important regional belts are. You win a regional belt that has any affiliation with one of the big 4 you will be ranked in their top 15. Some regional belts place a guy in the top 5 like the NABF, NABO, WBC Silver Belt, USBA, WBO Asian/Pacific, etc. Winning those titles are key to moving up the rankings. Hughie Fury won the WBO Intercontinental title which put him in the WBO top 10. He had wins over Kassi & Dom Guinn in 2016 & 4 wins in 2015 including a victory over Rudenko who is now ranked in the WBC top 15. He was WBO #5 with his belt but moved up to #2 when Ruiz/Parker fought for vacant belt & Klitschko & Haye opted for bigger fights... That left Hughie the next in line with Jarrell Miller next after him...

Great news, was a bit baffled with all the things/excuses/reasons why Fury didn't sign the contract yet. If he didn't want to fight they would have got the purse bid canceled.

I've never heard anyone official say that the B sample came back negative.

I think he's suspended as we speak soon not to be in time for fight night but I have my doubts this fight goes ahead. He's had long enough out now so should no longer have PED's in his system, he looked shyt versus Kassi he couldn't have used them that night likely why he looked so poor as the fight wore on, dude looked pretty desperate before the cut and looked relieved when his uncle told him the fight would be stopped during the next round.

Haha, you talk about PED's like they're exctacy pills and last one night. If you don't do them for 1 month they totally wear off and there are no benefits?!

On the other hand you show the picture of him after the Kassi fight when his acne was at its worst and claim that it proves he's on PED's.

Hmmm...
