Round-By-Round - Joseph Parker (c) vs. Hughie Fury - September 23rd 2017

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fury is expected to make £750,000 out of the fight on home soil while this time around, Parker is understood to be receiving a purse payment of £1.1m.

With ticket sales said to be struggling for the bout, dissenting voices had doubted whether the fight would go ahead at all.

However, Duco Events promoter David Higgins confirmed the money had been paid earlier this week and that the bout would indeed still take place.

"It's been a long and winding road and the fans can be forgiven for being a little cynical at times especially in the sport of boxing," Higgins said.

“I’m pleased to confirm the full payment from Camp Fury is in our escrow account as of now so that means the fight is 100 per cent on - the money is in the bank.

"There were a lot of doubters.

“Almost every man in British boxing was telling me they wouldn't put the money up; certainly a lot of people in New Zealand were doubtful.

Yup. Just over 8,100 now - though early in the evening.

Hilariously inept as this whole thing has been, I would hate to see Hennessey lose his shirt over this.

McDonagh / Singleton putting on a decent show. McDonagh trying to pressure him to death and mostly getting picked off, but landing in spots. Question of who's going to tire first.

And now the PA is fornicating up.

I've got the under card on my TV from my laptop and able to post on here

Quality isn't too bad - but £14.99 is a disgrace

Watched about an hour of the undercard 6-7. Absolute shambles. Made a Frank's show look slick.

God awful videos that looked like the work experience kid made on how to book the main event, loss of sound, loss of video, lots of filling. Jim Rosenthal seemed to die inside every time he said "YouTube".

Is it wrong that I'd find that funny?

So what happened that night? Did Tyson hypnotise him? In his home country? But he came and floored AJ in his hometown? It doesn't even make sense to suggest it's all Wlad's fault. He wasn't good enough for Tyson, simple!

The people saying Fury was slightly less shit are obviously being completely daft, but I'd say the 'Wlad beat AJ up for 10 rounds' that you came out with were equally daft. He beat him up for several rounds after AJ had knocked him down and then in the rounds leading up to the 11th just about did enough to win the rounds rather than beat him up. And likewise he didn't 'beat him up' before the first knockdown.

AJ is never gonna outbox Wlad the way Fury did, but Fury is never gonna lift Wlad off his feet like AJ did so the AJ v Fury fight is far from a foregone conclusion.

On tonights fight, you've said it's a good competitive fight. I don't think it will be. I think Parker will go through him.

I dunno, haven't been that impressed with Parker and now he's away from home

Hughie has been inactive and stepping up but he has been trained in good company and Tyson I think said he would be better than him

I'm interested and have a stream - p1ssed off it was so expensive on YouTube!
