He hasn't wanted to travel there since the fight was announced.
First, they tried claiming that Peter Fury, his coach and dad, wouldn't be allowed entry due to past convictions......the boxing board of control in New Zealand ensured he would be allowed in so that Hughie had zero excuses.
Secondly, Hughie refused to fully commit so that Frank Warren could try and bring the fight to the UK.....that failed.
Finally, he's decided to make up an injury so that he can't fight.
I respected Tyson for his huge win, and wished Hughie all the success possible......but when their camp is again involved in something like this, and therefore now twice, Tyson v Klit rematch and Parker v Hughie, you really have to question everything they do in the future. It's a disgrace in all honesty.
Whilst i was, at the time, delighted by Tyson's win over Klit....i can't help but thinking i wished the result turned out differently. Someone like Wilder may have been forced to fight a decent level opponent.
