According to Sulaiman, the WBC gave Breazeale a signed contract stating that his proposed fight with Stiverne would be a final eliminator, with the winner becoming their mandatory. But Stiverne ended up going straight into a title fight after Ortiz failed a PED test.
Again, according to Sulaiman, that meant they were legally required to make Breazeale their mandatory challenger if he won his next fight, against Molina.
El Presidente himself explains the situation here:

Great news! Means we're about to get a huge title fight involving Tyson Fury... doesn't necessarily have to be this one though...
Fury just won the lottery. The fight being ordered compels Deontay's team to fight, but it does nothing to Fury but make him the main event in town.
Fury can now happily play Joshua and Wilder off each other. He'll fight one of them, it just comes down to who will offer him the most favourable terms.

This is why Wilder was able to message Whyte and said “I don’t have to do anything for two years with you”

It’s good that they ordered it but equally pointless, 60/40 isn’t going to progress the negiotiations at all?
What does this mean for Brezeale though? Wbc don’t order very often so does this mean the two year clock starts over again?
