Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker To Stay With Higgins, Eyes Fury For September

Wouldnt this UKAD mess get in the way of Fury?

Hughie isn't suspended and UKAD don't seem to want to allow his case to be heard by an independant panel.

It's Tyson Fury they are trying to ban, Hughie just got caught in the cross fire, I think he'll be ok.

Parker desperately needs to upgrade his trainer now, Kevin Barry is great for character building and good stuff like that but he's severely limited technically, Parker is a smart guy and I think he could learn so well from a guy like Freddie Roach.
He's too loyal and stuck as a NZer for his own good, Barry is deeply involved in his career as he was with Tua and Parker will be so reluctant to recognise he must do better

I agree with this. Parker is keen, willing, and intelligent, but he's not improving as he matures and gains experience. You have to point the finger at his training team for that.

I know it's all bupkis, but I don't think the Fury's have a good outcome against UKAD. If it were just one testing positive, you can get by it, but both in the same camp for the same drug--if UKAD lets them skate, then the doping agencies are all pointless and we should just get rid of them all together. You mean to tell me you can't sort out a drug test in less than a year?! Even if the Furys are guilty, they're getting screwed too, by the time table. Suspension would be up by now.

UKAD obviously don't think so, or they wouldn't be stalling and asking for postponements every time the case is scheduled to be heard by an independant tribunal.

I mean the fact is wilder has concussive power. Joshua has gotten wins and is very strong, wilder has literally knocked people into siezures. He has disturbing power. As a man with a family I might hesitate to fight him too. But no excuse for fellow pugilists, if his style is horrible and he has so many flaws step up to the plate.

Talk and Ruiz are nothing special bro. And Parker probably lost to Ruiz..

they are better than anyone wilder ever fought

Wilder ducked Chisora and didn't sign the contract and didn't even turn up for the press conference after agreeing all terms. This idea that anyone ducked him is hogwash.

That's pure bs. Wilder couldn't leave the country and Schaefer offered chisora the fight in America. Chisora made a bunch of excuses, and wilder ended up fighting firtha on two weeks notice. Then when chisora wrote the call out letter, wilder let him know immediately if he didn't get a title shot or a fight with fury, he would definitely fight him next. Chisora chose some unknown to fight and started talking about fighting povetkin in Russia after that. He never said wilder name again. That old chisora story has been proven to be a lie years ago. It ranks up there with the Audley Harrison sparring story. Besides that, wilder has been champ for years now. Where's chisora to call him out for a title shot??? The Chisora story doesn't help your cause.

Yea, what the hell are they doing?! It's like a bunch of 6th graders are running that agency out of a tree house.

IMO, UKAD have no case against the Fury's and were acting on orders from somebody higher up the food chain when they brought that bull**** charge against them. Tyson Fury was the real target, Hughie is just caught in the cross fire.

Too bad Parker couldnt hook up with this Higgins,Old man Ralph Higgins he would be way more refined and mentally stronger...
