We don't know the time stamp of when that WBC representative replied to that journalist. Things could have changed. That representative may have been misinformed or had outdated information. Or the WBC may have been facing legal threats from Breazeale. Who knows.
So again why would Whyte come out and be upset? Could it be he felt shaft in seeing the number 2 guy getting a shot over him? Or could it be the fact that the WBC are mandating a Wilder/Breazeale fight as a mandatory.... when Wilder has already fought a mandatory in November 2017.
Hearn and Haymon were clearly playing sanctioning body chess last year after Ortiz failed his test. No matter what the WBC decided, one of them was going to be pissed. In these situations, sanctioning bodies usually decide whatever minimizes their exposure to a lawsuit. So clearly the WBC believes Breazeale would have had a more actionable position than Whyte has now.
