If Whyte wants a shot at Wilder so badly, then why doesn't he fight Brazeale for a mandatory spot?

    Then it would force Wilder & the WBC to give him a title shot. If Whyte can beat Brazeale (which he probably would) then it would eliminate any obstacle to getting a shot at Wilder and he would pretty much be the mandatory after that!

    Right?

    Lol I’m sure he would in a heart beat and it’d be so funny if it happened cause we all know why Breazeale was catapulted to the top spot don’t we?just like Stiverne they find Wilders opposition and make em mandatory in a flash.
    Perhaps the question should be is would the WBC allow Whyte to fight Breazeale?my guess is no.

    Fast Car Eddie could give Brazeale some DAZN money and fight Whyte at the O2.

    Breazeale already has the right to fight Wilder... Whyte needs to fight Ortiz first for the mandatory position, unless Wilder fights Fury next and Hearn offers Breazeale lots of money to fight Whyte, hope it happens.

    Why bother? Wilder wouldn't fight him anyway. His management knows this fragile mandible would get shattered faster than Lucas Browne's did!

    What's the point? Wilder clearly doesn't have to face mandatories.

    If he did fight Brezeale it would be for the second mandatory spot which would mean he would have to wait over 2 years.

    Whyte has done enough to get a shot at one of the belts.

    Whyte has already missed his chance to become WBC mandatory when he fought Parker.

    Breazeale is the first mandatory, with a deal required in December or purse bids will be called.

    Luis Ortiz is 2nd mandatory, likely to have a deal required by December 2019.

    ortiz
    breazeale

    Can someone explain the following......

    Mansour, Ugonoh, Molina - Mandatory

    Allen, Martz, Cojanu - 2nd Mandatory

    Helenius, Browne, Parker - Nah


    Breazeale made mandatory after almost getting KO'd by Ugonoh.....
    Ortiz got a shot after looking poor against Scott and Allen.....
    Stiverne got a rematch for beating Rossy.....
    Molina got a shot at mandatory for beating Terrell Jamal Woods.....


    Too much of a threat?

    Why do Wilder nut huggers not want Whyte to fight him??

    Seem to be more nut pushing than AJ - Wilder...

    Really Whyte has been no 1 ranked for a while now yet he isn't close to getting a shot..

    Really its politics, the WBC doesn't want another non American champ...

    The term 'Joshua's bodyguard' is getting thrown around a lot lately.....

    Yet it's Joshua's name, that seems to be used as a reason why Wilder won't fight Whyte.



    Unfortunately Joshua v Wilder may never happen.....

    But that doesn't mean Whyte v Wilder cannot.
