Parker may need to fight Hughie Fury next, not Bellew

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

The World Boxing Organization has ordered Parker to defend against the unbeaten Hughie (20-0, 10 KOs) within 120 days, which means there’s no possibility of a fight between him and Bellew. That’s not good news for Parker, because he would have gotten nice cash in an easy title defense against Bellew if that fight could be made.

“Fury is the mandatory,” WBO Asia Pacific vice president Leon Panoncillo told www.stuff.co.nz “The injury has been proven by documentation submitted to the WBO. We don’t know the severity of it or if it’s a hoax. But he does have proof from a doctor that he was injured and that’s legitimate for us to declare him as still the mandatory. Parker has to defend the title against Fury within 120 days.”
