By Sangy: First, let’s get things straight about the Joseph Parker vs. Hughie Fury fight; I wasn’t expecting anything really special here. However, I was just a tiny bit excited for this matchup because here in the states both men are essentially unknown. Fury was pretty much a known commodity, of course, being basically a down-sized version of the perpetual thorn in the side of the heavyweight division–Tyson Fury. I didn’t expect him to do much of anything in this fight, but I wanted to see what Parker could do, and I expected this to be a fight where I could get a good look at him and his potential prowess.
