The WBO planned to have a heavyweight tournament for the title with Parker, Ruiz, Fury and Big Baby I believe, but Hughie refused to take part it in knowing that if it didn't happen then Parker would face Ruiz for the vacant title and then he would be next in the rankings as both Haye and Klitschko already had fights lined up. T'was scummy, but i'm pretty sure most would do the same in that situation... after all, why risk losing a title shot? Especially considering i'm doubtful he'd beat Miller.

Originally posted by joe strong View PostHe didn't duck anybody. Go look at the rankings. In December Fury was the WBO #5 for owning that regional belt & Miller was #6. Tyson Fury was the champion. Parker #1, Klitschko #2, Ruiz #3, Haye #4 with Price #7 & Hammer #13. Come January 2017 Tyson Fury vacated the WBO title. It was suppose to be Parker/Klitschko fighting for the vacant WBO belt but Klitschko passed to fight Joshua & Parker fought the next in line which was Ruiz at #3. That moved Haye to the mandatory spot for the winner. They had 120 days to defend against him. Haye was #1, Fury #2, Miller #3 Ruiz #4, Price #5 & Hammer #6. Price & Hammer fought in a WBO eliminator & Haye passed on the mandatory shot to fight Bellew. So by default Hughie Fury being next in the rankings got the #1 position so he didn't have to fight anyone because the WBO needed a mandatory. You also have to remember the 2 next fighters Ruiz & Miller both had management issues. Ruiz was still able to fight Parker but he was in the middle of a split with his manager while Miller hasn't fought in almost a year since trying to break his promotional contract. He is still tied up in that legal battle. Hughie Fury didn't duck anybody. He was just gift wrapped the position because all the ranked guys ahead of him or just behind him either passed or couldn't fight because of legal issues with their team. Pulev would of been next but he wouldn't give that IBF #1 spot up to fight Hughie in an eliminator. Ugonoh lost to Breazeale taking him out of the rankings & the next guys after that were Schwarz, Rudenko, Fedosov. If the WBO was willing to wait for a Hammer/Fury eliminator to determine the mandatory spot then it would have held up Parker & we would probably have got another soft WBO title fight anyway like the Cojanu fight.
"David Haye went for the money so he got scared and he's not eligible now to fight for the belt," said Miller, referring to Haye's decision to face cruiserweight belt-holder Tony Bellew.
"Hughie Fury didn't want to fight a four-man eliminator, me versus him and Joseph Parker versus Andy Ruiz. And of course, it would've been me versus Joseph Parker. So all of a sudden now that Joseph Parker didn't look so great, Frank Warren wants to push Hughie Fury back in the mix. But you're not eligible anymore. You jumped out of the opportunity, number one, number two is you failed a drug test - which is not even clarified, yet.
"So how are you going to be mandatory for a title shot, number one, when you stepped out on a fight. And number two, you got drug test problems."

This sounds about right to me knowing these overrated scared HW's - we both know how they operate.

If this was staged on the moon, Parker would still knock this bum out. Hughie is just like his inbred brother Tyson, they both can't punch. We all know hughie has stamina problems based on his recent fight where he gassed out but had the fight stopped for a head butt when he wanted to (corruption) and won on the cards.
Mark my words, Parker will ****ing murder Hughie. Only thing Parker has to worry about his drug testing! We know both Furys are cheats.
