«We’re in negotiations with it at the minute,» told WBO #2 heavyweight Hughie Fury (20-0, 10 KOs) about his negotiations to challenge WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (22-0, 18 KOs). «I am mandatory, so it will be happening either way. I’m in the #1 position, I’m mandatory, and I will be fighting for that title. It would be nice to have it at home in England, where the home crowd is, instead of traveling away, but it doesn’t really matter to me. I have never fought in my hometown before».
«I do rate Joseph Parker, he’s a good talented heavyweight, but I believe I’ve got the tools to beat him. I believe I’m his worst nightmare. He struggled against Ruiz. I did have Ruiz winning that fight to be honest with you by a few rounds. The reason why Ruiz never got the fight is because from being in his hometown and he never pushed the issue.» said Hughie.
