"Who gives a f*** about you anyway?"
Hughie Fury will step into the ring with Joseph Parker on Saturday night, with the WBO heavyweight title on the line. The fight will streamed live on YouTube pay-per-view, and there's probably room for another bout on the undercard, judging by the scenes at their press conference on Monday. Fury's father and trainer Peter was involved in a heated row with David Higgins, Parker's promoter. Higgins is unhappy that there will be a British referee and judge involved, and took issue with Fury Sr. about it. Peter and Hughie were in their seats at the press conference before Higgins arrived. When Parker's promoter entered the room, he walked towards Fury Sr and accused him of reneging on an agreement about "neutral" officials. https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/909736953154859008 The pair began exchanging insults and Higgins was restrained by security, as Fury shouted after him."Who give s a f*** about you anyway? F*** off, d***head, squealing like a pig! Let me the men fight, f****** dummy."You watch the incident here: https://twitter.com/hughiefury/status/909755552317759488
