There's some nonsense in here. You seem to be very invested in Dillian Whyte's career to the point where you can't help but show a clear bias (at best).#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!
The first three points seem to really be the same thing. Whyte was ranked one and progressed through Silver and then Interim Champion status. Hearn was lobbying for him to be made mandatory. That's what you'd expect isn't it? If it wasn't Whyte then who should it be? That's his promoter's job.
You then drift into the PED story. Whyte was cleared to fight (and passed other organisations' testing), was never so much as suspended and ultimately was exonerated in an unprecedented statement from UKAD issued due to the leaking of confidential information. The WBC ultimately issued a very similar statement exonerating Whyte completely.
He lost against Povetkin. Then he beat him. I won't counter your opinions around those fights. But they're just opinions. Fighters do lose fights from time to time.
6&7 are the same point dragged out. Now tell me - if the split was presented and agreed at the convention... why was the fight not ordered because Whyte was already in arbitration with the WBC over the split?
Don't you think those conversations might have already happened?Comment

The part in bold is really the whole problem with this incident and many of boxing's ills...what the f##ck is a."Silver Champion"? Seriously, what is it other than an opportunity for a slimeball like Sulaiman to squeeze a few thousand dollars out from a fight?#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).
I will leave you with Bob Arum's opinion of the WBC Silver Champion: "It's a joke. I know it's a joke, you know it's a joke, the fans know it's a joke."
