Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury May Take Part in Voluntary Defense While Whyte, WBC Settle Legal Dispute

[REDEEMER]

Rivas wasn't the leading available contender. Whyte lobbied to have his fight with Rivas approved for the interim title, but then gets knocked out the next year before getting his title shot. He has no case against the WBC. He's never ever agreed to face the leading available contender in a final eliminator.

Yes he was . That’s why it was sanctioned as the final elimination bout . Whyte lost that position after losing to Povetkin in a voluntary interim championship fight , those are the facts which is why he doesn’t have a case again these are facts .

He agreed to face Fury which was sanctioned by the WBC for a Diamond belt so stop lying . Aren’t you done on the forum yet since Wilder is gone ?

This is actually kind of hilarious. Don’t get stopped cold by a pensioner and ***** that you aren’t getting your shot at the champ.

You're wrong. Hearn signed #1 Whyte vs. #10 Rivas and then after the fact asked if it could be a final eliminator, continuing his usual games of refusing to fight the leading available contender and trying to bully the WBC using a public propaganda campaign to smear the organization. Because Wilder was injured, the WBC allowed the fight to be for the interim title, but it was never announced by the WBC as a final eliminator and Rivas wasn't the leading available contender.

You're wrong. Whyte refused the final eliminator against Fury.

Sulaiman: ""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."

People are bashing Whyte as if he has not been fighting tougher fight. WBC just favours North American fighter or any fighter that align with North America (Fury-Arum). After the way Vitali Klitschko colonize that belt and retired and came back to dust off Samuel Peter short reign. They made sure that when Vitali retired, WBC belt must remain in North America. So Whyte is not favoured at all especially with the fact that he is with Eddie.

It's not a question of whether Whyte has taken tough fights, it's the fact that he's absolutely refused, over and over, to fight the leading available contender in a final eliminator. He hasn't followed the rules of how you become mandatory. That's why his situation has dragged on so long. He won a semi-final eliminator in 2017, turned down a final eliminator in 2018, turned down another final eliminator in 2019, and got knocked out cold in 2020. So why exactly would he have been given a mandatory shot?

The WBC was co-founded by the BBBoC and EBU. The BBBoC is the official British title, the EBU is the official European title and the WBC is the official world title. The WBC has been very supportive of British fighters, stripping Rid**** Bowe for refusing to fight Lennox Lewis and stripping Mike Tyson for refusing to fight Lennox Lewis. The WBC was also very supportive of Frank Bruno as well as Tyson Fury and British champions as well as European champions are given tremendous respect by the WBC.

The problem is simple. Eddie Hearn tried to trick the public into thinking Whyte was mandatory when he wasn't. Hearn lied to the public about Whyte fighting final eliminators when he wasn't. Hearn and Whyte has both hugely disparaged the WBC, slandering them left and right to try to trick the world into thinking Whyte had been screwed in some way. Honestly the WBC has been way too kind to Whyte. Whyte should have lost his ranking years ago for refusing a final eliminator.

So this id.iot expected to get a mandatory shot while he is suing WBC at the same time.

Can you be dumber?

Yes he can. At one stage he was asking them to give him the belt with out needing to fight for it.

You can't make this up...lol

I would not rule of Whyte bringing a legal claim in the US for $Ms in damages and it would be very easy to paint the WBC as corrupt. Also, unless they have a valid reason for further delaying because of the ongoing legal case, they are digging a deeper hole. It would not be the first time the WBC has gone bankrupt. On the plus side, Wilder will have to fight Whyte which will be a cracker!

Again you seem to have trouble understanding rules of a sanctioned body . The WBC can choose anyone in the top rankings fir any title fight . Rivas was the only available guy at that time ,the same thing happened when Breazeale fought Molina for mandatory ,Molina wasn’t ranked high at all but was the next available guy . Whyte didn’t reject any elimination bout besides Pulev because of money splits then fought in the actual elimination bout against Rivas but you just don’t understand logical things .

You also put up a link before the Rivas fight was ordered as a final elimination bout and deliberately showed Suliaman stating it wasn’t at that time ,good job also bringing up Fury when the WBC clearly states if they both win their next fights then it’s on. There’s no mention of Whyte ducking Fury because that never happened ,they are clearly saying both guys have to win their next fights first .

I'm the only one here that knows the WBC, WBA and IBF rules inside and out. I'm the only one here that talks to the presidents of the WBC and IBF every week.

Rivas was the only available guy at that time

This is a lie. Whyte vs Rivas was signed first, then the WBC was approached later, with the higher ranked contenders never given consideration.

the same thing happened when Breazeale fought Molina for mandatory

This is a lie. The Breazeale fight was offered to everyone in the rankings until they got to Molina. Molina was the highest rated willing to take the fight on short notice.

Whyte didn’t reject any elimination bout besides Pulev

This is a lie. Whyte rejected a final eliminator against Luis Ortiz in 2018. Whyte rejected a final eliminator against Tyson Fury in 2019. The WBC has publicly confirmed this.

Who was available over Rivas at that time ? I’ll wait.

Molina was the highest ranking available guy is correct unfortunately I already said that because it was the same as the Rivas situation. Which is why I used that .

Ortiz wasn’t a final elimination bout it was for the secondary mandatory position nice try though as they publicly confirmed it was for that as Breazeale was the actual mandatory still but you know the WBC inside out do you ?
