Above article suggests Hughie will be flying this week - most likely in two or three days. If he's still in the UK less than a fortnight before the fight happens then I think it's probably game over.
The talk about trying to cobble together funds to get the fight over here don't make any sense.

Can't recall from memory but the cards v Takam were a bit wider than I thought it was. Same I think will happen to Fury. Out pointed.
This.
Neither fighter have demonstrated a chin or power recently which would suggest this will be knockout.
I think it'll go VERY similar in scorecards to Ruiz and Takam. Either UD or MD. Then the Fury team, and fansters will be shouting robbery. I think in a neutral venue it'd be shout for a draw, or narrow Fury win, but with home advantage, it'd edge the win for Parker.
Parker demonstrated a chin v Takam ( a fighter I am not convinced Hughie would beat).
Like I have said in my earlier post this fight has to happen first. We will know in the next 10 days.
It takes 1 and a half days to get there and then probably a couple of days to adjust to the massive time difference.
They should be getting there for the weekend IMO .

Allow me to clarify my position. When I mentioned chin qualities, what I meant was, neither fighter have demonstrated that they have a chin to be concerned about. Thus, going the distance comfortably.

Hmmmm....
Maybe it's Peter being cheeky with his words? With a drug charge hanging over Hughie, maybe not the smartest move
Strange old goings on around Hughie

Yes. Saw him in Manchester. Surprisingly thin for a HW.
Really nice fella though.
I'm still not convinced this fights happens.
If it does I'm edging Parker in a close points win.

Parker is there ( has camps in Las Vegas) don't know when Furys are going.
There will be answers in a few days. They should be there now.

Is this related to poor little Hughie's debilitating body acne?

Disgraceful. Though I am not surprised.
Tyson took 1 year off wlads career with pull outs and now Hughie has taken 6 months of Parkers.
The WBO need to do the right thing and remove Hughie mandatory status.
Said from the off on when they get to NZ should anyone think this was on, he signed the contract last minute as well
Neither Tyson or Hughie have fought since UKAD charged them in June 2016 for testing positive for Nandrolone in Feb 2015.
We need answers to this from UKAD.

Sadly not unexpected and in fact all rather predictable from the 'fighting men' of team fury.

Warren mentioned 8th May that Tyson had a hearing - and then he could maybe plan depending on the outcome.
To be arguing over airfares/seats at this stage is pathetic.

This has to be a final hearing or appeal. The dates for hearings have been November, February and May.
The total lack of transparency from UKAD in this sitatuion clearly shows they are not fit for purpose.
No one should speculate on the future of Hughie or Tyson until the case file has been uploaded onto UKADs site.

You've been more upset than UKAD and the Fury's put together.
