Steverne was the #1 ranked in WBC Steverne v Breazeale was sanctioned by the WBC as final eliminator contracts were signed for Nov 4th at Barclay
Steverne withdrew from the fight #4 ranked Dillian Whyte was offered the fight on Nov 4th they didn't want it instead Hearn offered Breazeale to fight Whyte on the undercard of AJ on October Breazeale refused and went on to fight the next available ranked WBC Molina
Pretty sure this was explained to you before but there you go
If the WBC had ordered Breazeale-Whyte as an eliminator it would have gone to purse bids. WBC handed it to Breazele and allowed him to choose whoever he wanted.
He fought Helenius for the WBC Silver title he hasn't fought any final eliminators for WBC or any other organization in fact he is no longer ranked and dropped in the IBF because he turned down the Pulev fight
WBC were within their right to drop him too after he turned down the Ortiz fight
Can't have an eliminator when there's already a mandatory. It was a BS move by the WBC. They should have ordered Breazeale-Whyte instead.
