Stop lying! This is what Sulaiman's statement said about Whyte's petition:"He's petitioned to be named the mandatory contender without fighting a final elimination."
Yes and he also said Whyte turned down the fight.
Why on earth would a fighter who isn't a WBC champion have to petition the WBC to not have to fight anybody?
Because the WBC ordered Whyte vs Fury for the interim championship and Whyte refused the fight.
The link I posted literally has a statement from the WBC saying Whyte didn't accept the fight and petitioned to not have to fight Fury. So no, it doesn't prove I'm lying. It literally proves the opposite of what you're saying.

It doesn't say that that Whyte petitioned the WBC to not have to fight Fury. Why on earth would a fighter who isn't a WBC champion have to petition the WBC to not have to fight anybody?
That's a ridiculous claim, especially as Fury himself was refusing to fight Whyte, whether the WBC ordered it or not!
I'm a Fury fan and I believe he beats Whyte if they do fight, but the truth is the truth, and you are lying through your teeth about this.
The link you posted proves that are lying when you say that Whyte petitioned the WBC to avoid fighting Fury.

It literally proves the opposite of what you're saying. We both know you're a troll, so you don't care about truth or logic. But by pushing this issue with me, you're exposing yourself to new posters who may not have known yet that you're a troll account. Now they know.
Whyte's petition was to uphold what he believed was his legal right to be named mandatory challenger without having to fight a final eliminator.
Nobody is entitled to be named mandatory without fighting a final eliminator.
He backed that petition up with the threat of legal action and the WBC compromised by sanctioning his upcoming fight with Rivas - which he had already signed for - as a final eliminator.
So he refused to fight Fury and got away with it. Which is fine. Just don't lie and say he didn't refuse to fight Fury.
After that statement by Sulaiman, Whyte publicly accepted a challenge from Fury to fight him for the WBC Diamond belt, but Fury changed his mind and said that he had no interest in fighting Whyte.
Public statements don't mean anything if you privately turn down a fight and file a petition to block the fight.

"We ordered Whyte vs. Fury, if both men win their corresponding fights, for the mandatory position. That position was not accepted by Whyte so the WBC is now handling Dillian Whyte's appeal and we will resolve it in the coming weeks. He's petitioned to be named the mandatory contender without fighting a final elimination."

You are also telling a ridiculous lie by saying Whyte took legal measures to avoid fighting Fury.

You seem very confused. The WBC ordered an interim title fight, not a diamond title fight. The WBC publicly confirmed Whyte turned it down and filed a petition to be named mandatory without ever fighting a final eliminator.
Your position is that I must be wrong because Whyte said PUBLICLY he'd take the fight.
My position is that you are wrong because despite what Whyte said PUBLICLY, in private he refused the fight and took legal measures to avoid it.
I'm not confused, you are trying to conflate 2 separate events.
You are also telling a ridiculous lie by saying Whyte took legal measures to avoid fighting Fury.
That was before he accepted the Diamond title fight and Fury declined it.

And round we go again!

That's a lie. He didn't file a petition to stop the fight.
The WBC publicly confirmed that Whyte refused the eliminator against Fury and filed a petition to be named mandatory without ever winning a final eliminator.
And? What does it matter if Whyte lies publicly and says he'll fight if in private he officially refuses to fight and files a petition to stop the fight?
That's a lie. He didn't file a petition to stop the fight.

"Tyson Fury changes mind on Dillian Whyte fight, declares he’s ‘not interested’ and brands Whyte a bum"

And? WBC orders fight. Whyte refuses. Fight dead. After fight is dead, Fury publicly downplays the fight because he knows it's dead. And? Who cares?
Fighters take fights they don't want all the time. Usually because they don't want to lose their position. It was a mandatory fight. Whyte refused to participate. Fury didn't. Anything else is just posturing.

Fury didn't say he thought the fight wouldn't happen. He stated, very definitely, that the fight wasn't going to happen because he didn't want it.

But before any of that, Whyte officially turned down the fight and filed a petition to avoid the fight. So you can't blame Fury weeks later for saying he doesn't think the fight will happen.

Your dishonest, twisted version of what happened before Whyte accepted the fight doesn't alter the fact that he did accept it and Fury then turned it down.
Brits didn't care for Furry, the whole reason he came to America, and 'Muricans could care even less about him.
I know you're a troll, but for new or naive fans who might be fooled by your propaganda, it's important to point out that Fury is a huge worldwide attraction. He makes tens of millions per fight. Americans love him and he's one of the most popular fighters here. It's hard for UK fanboys to understand, because they're so obsessed with UK fighters, but US boxing just isn't like that. America cares about stars, no matter where they're from.

He's an arcane trivia question.
Lol ... the problem for you is that after Eddie Hearn said that, Fury publicly turned down the fight, just like I said he did.

The problem for you is Hearn was just lying. He can say publicly they accept the fight, but if privately they turn it down and file a petition, it doesn't matter what they say publicly.
