Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury in NZ - confirmed for May 6th

[Tinnie]

It really looks like Fury has dogged this fight.

As for Lucas Browne. Firstly I'm not even sure if he is allowed to fight yet. Secondly, he wouldn't have a rating with any of the organisations would he?

I have no idea what came of Brownes second positive test tbh. I remember him demanding they look into the supplements he was using, not heard anything since. And nah no ranking either.

But Browne did put his hand up though and i dont think there are a helluva lot of options

The WBO want someone ranked in their top 15 and some of those guys are putting their hands up. Beazeale for instance.

Hughie Fury fight licence uncertainty as renewal process lingers

Hughie Fury isn't on the British boxing authority's list of licensed fighters, adding intrigue to his absence from his world title fight against Joseph Parker.

Fury, the mandatory challenger, pulled out of the May 6 promotion in Auckland citing a back injury.

A search of the licensed boxers on the British Boxing Board of Control's website revealed no Fury two weeks out from what was meant to be the fight of his career.

Replying to an inquiry about Fury's surprising absence, the board's general secretary, Robert Smith, said the boxer was in the process of renewing his licence.

"Mr Fury's licence is not withdrawn. He is in the process of renewing his licence and we are awaiting receipt of medicals, etc. Once in order, the licence will show on the board's website," Smith said.

Fury hasn't fought for a year, but to have the licence process drag out on the eve of a world title fight appears tardy.
