So what happens if Hughie withdraws?
Haye becomes mandatory again after fighting Bellew? #1 WBO
Miller becomes the new mandatory? 3# WBO after Hughie
Or the WBO allows a voluntary?

Get my vote, Sham. As a matter of fact, I was thinking that it would be you or Chris if Peter couldn't make it. I'm sure there are contingencies in place, as Peter knew it was a possibility. But not showing up for a title chance, no way.
If it does happen, though, I think Miller would step in, and Duco would try to make that the mandatory.

I reckon they'll let Peter in, he admitted his crimes, did his time and has lead a good life since
Tyson was different because he has never admitted his crime

As did Mike Tyson, who wasn't let in. But Iron Mike did cause some trouble once he got out, but nothing he was locked up for.

To be honest he actually can. That's where the money is.
They just need an initial investment to get a title, then they can defend it there forever.
Joshua will have netted $40,000,000 after the klitschko fight, having never fought away from those shores. Meanwhile Americas #1 heavyweight is making $1.8-2 mil per fight in the states.

Team Fury takes parker seriously. If they thought he was an easy beat they would maybe send hughie with a back up trainer.
But compare Tyson Fury when he fought Steve Cunningham with basically no trainer in the corner, he went mental, got floored and had to turn it into a streetfight and knock cunningham out.
I honestly don't see the fight happening if peter fury isn't there.

Agree, with Peter being the father and trainer, and with Hughie still being so very young, I think they will pull out if Peter isn't allowed in.

I think they'll come regardless. Too big an opportunity for Hughie. I hope it doesn't come to that, and that Peter can come to NZ. Just don't tell Goff about it.
