I thought a second WBC Final Eliminator was an insult? Or was that just when it was against Ortiz?

as far as i know, whyte fought one eliminator. why is hearn lying and saying he fought a couple eliminators?

what justification is there for an interim title now that wilder is fighting his mandatory? why would rivas, #10, be eligible for an interim title?

it's amazing the BS hearn comes up with that his fans blindly gobble up.

Makes as much sense as Brezeale vs Molina being one ................... wait they already did that.

Even if they did that Wilders gone 3 years between mandatorys and given he could always fight Joshua it's safe to say Wilder will never fight Whyte .. Hearn is just covering another escape route off for Deontay.

I don't think Deontay has ever defended against a non PBC/Don King fighter certainly never a match room fighter, though of course Joshua has defended against PBC fighters.

Heavyweight boxing sucks again ...

Call me a Hearn lover but he is Whytes promoter and he is trying to muscle the WBC in to getting Whyte his crack at that cowards WBC belt. To me it seems like he is working hard to do the best he can for his fighter. Its like the opposite to what Al Shaymon is doing at the PBC where he seems to be directing the act of spoiling great opportunities for his fighters.

These guys just won’t stop. You don’t make the rules Eddie. The final elimination was ordered twice and you failed to come to the table. There’s no excuse for it. Also pulled out of the IBF eliminator. They are looking for the easiest path to a title.

Funny how Hearn was killing Ortiz for wanting to fight Wilder for less than he was offered for AJ, but now it's a good idea for Whyte to fight Wilder, for less money than he was offered for AJ!

Did he block Andy Ruiz's opportunity? You do know Ruiz is a PBC fighter don't you?
