Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker vs. Hughie Fury To Land on May 6th

Unless of course their is a gagging order and no one is aware except for the QC they empowered, who openly included the media in their press release when he took the case on, a case in which we haven't heard anything since the QC took it on.

Come on, it doesn't take a fool to work out what has transpired here.

No, but it takes a monumental fool to look at what transpired and say, "Duh ... Hughie had a hearing for nandrolone abuse, and now he's fighting for a world title ... his boxing licence must have been suspended .. there can be no other explanation"

A full 13 months after he last fought ? In which time he was announced has having a pre ban lifted so his case could be passed over to an higher authority to meat out justice. Of course you'll argue he was even initially banned by the UKAD right ?

I'll just take your word for it.

Hughie's suspension was lifted last Sept and the hearing into his case was scheduled for Nov.

Now answer these questions, please: If the BBBoC had banned Hughie from competition last Nov - or at some secret, unreported hearing after that - do you think they would have allowed him to progress as Parker's mandatory without notifying the WBO that he didn't have a valid licence to compete?

And, as you already know that Hughie was cleared to fight last Sept, and will be fighting Parker next May, would you agree that a 13 month gap between his last 2 fights CANNOT mean that he is currently serving a 12 month suspension, and that you are a blethering idiot for saying that it does?

I'm looking forward to this fight, should be an interesting matchup of styles. I thought Parker barely eked out a win against Andy Ruiz and the few times I've seen Hughie I was impressed with his boxing skill. It may not be Whyte/Chisora but I think it will be entertaining.

This fight does not bring any benefit to Parker.

If he wins he'll gain experience against a skilled tall fighter, and it's perfect for calling out Tyson Fury if he comes back.

He's no Tyson Fury i agree, but he's still got enough to comfortably outbox Parker.

I disagree it's close but nowhere near easy for Hughie. Can already put him down 2 rounds fighting abroad and Parker from amateur days fighting taller men looks a ****e sight better. 50/50 just hope it happens it's a nice fight

I do not think Hughie Fury and Joseph Parker Top fighters.

They are dangerous to anyone not yet fought. It's too bad all the time to hit the bags. It is necessary to raise the level of opponents.

Tyson Fury will return if he can easily beat a young inexperienced Parker.

If Hughie had been suspended he would have lost his WBO ranking. No way would a boxer without a valid boxing licence be allowed to participate in a purse bid for a world title fight.

...well supposedly we'll know if he's suspended or not because we finally have a press release on this issue.
