False. Hearn said the winner would get the silver title and therefore become the mandatory, which was a lie. The silver title has never made you mandatory. Being ranked #1 has never made you mandatory. You become mandatory by winning a final eliminator. Hearn knows that fans don't understand how you become mandatory, so he lied to them and tricked them.
Ortiz wasn't selected ahead of Whyte. Ortiz has never been mandatory. Beating Parker is irrelevant. Whyte needed to win a final eliminator to become mandatory, not beat a random fighter of his choosing.
Breazeale agreed to face Stiverne in a final eliminator. Ortiz failed a drug test and to save the show, Stiverne was elevated to the main event. Breazeale had a signed contract for a final eliminator though, so he was legally entitled to face the leading available contender in a final eliminator. The fight was offered, in order, to everyone in the ratings and Molina was the highest rated contender willing to take the fight on short notice. The fight was offered to Whyte, but he turned it down. He didn't want to pull out of his fight with Helenius.
"FINAL ELIMINATOR" = winner guaranteed title shot. You're trying to invent your own definition that final eliminator = next title shot. That's not what it means and that's never what it's meant. Breazeale had already won a final eliminator and was going to get the 2019 mandatory shot. The WBC was still going to hold another final eliminator to determine the 2020 mandatory shot. Whyte refused, using the excuse he didn't want to be "second mandatory," but had he won the final eliminator, he would have had his title shot two years ago instead of it now being 2022 and he still hasn't had his shot.
Are you claiming UKAD falsified Whyte's test in a conspiracy to aid Wilder? Are you ****ing ******ed?
So explain to me how somehow brezeale and ortiz were selected ahead of Whyte then? whyte went on to beat parker.

how the ffff can it be a final eliminator if it's ordered in April 2018, and WBC make it absolutely clear that Brezeale will be the 2019 mandatory. 1 mandatory fight a year right? ortiz had his in march 2018 and was used again for a final eliminator. The whole thing cearly reeked of corruption and support for pbc eg ortiz and wilder. However even ignoring that (fact), if it meant whyte becoming mandatory in 2020, then it wasnt a final eliminator at all
Whyte passed the VADA tests and failed a Ukad test right? right when he was about to become wilder's mandatory......how very convenient.
