I don't get this.... promoters cancel fights for bull**** reasons all the time..... Dunco won the purse bid, why not cancel and reschedule in Australia if they have that big of a problem??

Get this fight over with already. Feels like it's been in the making forever.

Did that ******ed Fury tell Parker's promoter to take another line? Is he confusing him with his own disgrace of a nephew?

Is this how they are trying to promote this fight or is there legit a potential coup going down on the 23rd lol. And people thought the circus was Aug. 26. The circus is EVERY WEEK in boxing.

The fight is a farce and O'connor makes it more so.Terry would try to seal and steal victory from Parker by splitting them up every time they got close .'The Pig' is bad news.

A circus in a UK pre-fight press conference. Its more a shock these days if it isn't a circus.

I've got this little theory that there is a UK consulting company they all hire that specialises in 'making your press conference a circus - how to squeeze that extra bit of promo-dollar out of every one'.

Looking at how the BBBoC have treated the Fury's, I'd be happy letting them pick the ref if I was Parker.

Is he implying Higgins is a coke head ? Peckerwood Pete Fury is a serious whopper, the guy was a drug dealer ffs .

This fight needs cancelling or until the issues with neutral officials is resolved.

An Australian champ has to defend in the U.K. A mandatory against hughie who never beat anyone. Then he has to have a British ref and judge ? No one sees conflict of interest ? Boxing is so corrupt breaks my heart my favorite
