Dillian Whyte never jumped through the hoops; the WBC flatly said fight Luis Ortiz and you're the mandatory challenger, and Whyte said "nah, I'm good".
Charlo was an unbeaten IBF 154lb champion, was rated #3 at 160lbs by the WBC, and fought the WBC's #1 contender (JS Heiland) to become mandatory, with the Centeno Jr fight being given to him as a sanctioned tickover fight (for the interim belt) while he waited on his shot.
