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.

This is mainly because the belt at stake was stripped from the challengers cousin Tyson Fury, and won by Parker in a battle for the vacant title, against untested American Andy Ruiz Jr. With Tyson Fury out of the picture, Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko squared off at the end of April for what most consider to be the lineal title, and the majority of the belts, including the IBF, WBA (Super) and the slowly becoming recognisable IBO.
