The Dillian Whyte Saga

Yes, but the WBC convention took place BEFORE Whyte was cleared by UKAD. Which is why Fury was made mandatory for February 2020 and Whyte was made mandatory for February 2021 if he was cleared by then. They couldn't declare Whyte the mandatory for February 2020 when he was currently under investigation for a drug test failure and the WBC didn't know when UKAD would make a decision.
If a mandatory loses, he's no longer mandatory. The person who beats him doesn't automatically become the mandatory.What are the WBC policies for beating a current mandatory ?

Well the WBC can mandate someone if it’s a rematch which was Wilder . I think you are just mixing and matching here ,why wouldn’t the WBC just reinstate him as a mandatory which again never involved them in the Rivas fight ? You know the outdated rules but what’s the new ones ? Give us a clear link .

If he's suspended by UKAD, he's not eligible to fight. Since he wasn't eligible to fight when the convention was held, Fury was made the 2020 mandatory and the WBC said Whyte would be the mandatory for 2021 if UKAD had cleared him by them.Comment

Whyte was cleared in December 2019. The WBC convention was held in November 2019.
The current rules were published December 13, 2011 and have been available in the rules section of WBCboxing.com ever since.Why don’t you,post a link to this new rules or updated ones so I can pick them apart like o know I will ?Comment

[QUOTE=just the facts;n31246551]If Team Whyte thought he could beat Fury, they’d jump on the 20%[/
LIKE WILDER JUMPED AT THE MEASELY PERCENTAGE HE WAS OFFERED TO FIGHT AJ FIRST TIME?Comment

I don’t think it’s even a saga. Anyone defending Whyte is either misinformed or just plain ******.#1 - Dillian Whyte wins a semi-final eliminator against Robert Helenius and becomes WBC silver champion. Hearn begins lying to the public and claiming being silver champion makes you the mandatory (it doesn't) and that Whyte-Helenius was a final eliminator (it wasn't).
#2 - Whyte begins turning down a series of final eliminators because Hearn doesn't want to risk losing a purse bid and not being able to control the ref and judges for one of Whyte's fights.
#3 - Whyte uses threats of lawsuits to become interim champion in a fight where he was using performance enhancing drugs and unapproved gloves. Hearn begins lying to the public and claiming the interim title entitles you to 45% (it doesn't) and Whyte was entitled to the next title shot (he wasn't).
#4 - Whyte is knocked out cold by an over the hill Povetkin.
#5 - Whyte knocks out an even more over the hill Povetkin who had his lungs ravaged by covid and could barely stand. Whyte files a $400,000 purse with the WBC for this fight.
#6 - Hearn doesn't bother to go to the WBC convention and doesn't send a representative either. The WBC convention is where all the promoters meet to lobby for mandatory shots, purse bid splits, etc.
#7 - With nobody in attendance to argue for Matchroom's position, Top Rank's representative successfully argues that the 70/30 split should be changed to 80/20 due to Fury making 15x more than Whyte in their last fights.
And now finally, on January 11 we will have the moment of truth. Will Fury-Whyte take place on DAZN? On ESPN? On Fox? On Showtime? On Triller? We'll find out soon!Comment

Exactly this…….And this is just the WBC.
Don't forget he also turned down the IBF eliminator with Pulev and then a unified title shot against Joshua.
His plan since day one was to try to get an interim belt and then have it elevated to a full title without fighting a champion in the ring.
He's been trying to politic his way to a title and it's been extremely transparent to anyone paying attention. Shameful behavior and I hope it doesn't work.Comment

[QUOTE=Noelanthony;n31246847]Wilder wasn’t a mandatory though, he was a champion, it was a unification and a far bigger fight than Fury-Whyte. It’s not even comparable really.Comment
