Look at my comments, I'm very vocal about all drug cheats. To be honest I despise them. But because I love boxing so much I have no choice but to watch boxers compete while I know they are cheating. Canelo, Fury, Ortiz, Whyte (ALL FAILED TESTS) and then the few top names not caught yet like Pacquaio, Joshua etc.
Whye cut himself out of half of the pie when declining AJ2 and chasing after Wilder instead. That was risky and Brezeale was already mandatory for Wilder. The WBC gave Whyte a further chance to be 2nd mandatory by fighting Ortiz, which he declined and instead fought Parker. The WBC also ordered a Whyte / Brezeale interim but in the meantime Fury had run away and as Brezeale was mandatory all along, he got the fight. Whyte could have been in position had he kept his nose clean but he is now MIA for months. It's not a case of the WBC ignoring him.
I’m thinking along the same lines. Like most of us they can see that Whyte is a drug cheat and to top it off their current heavyweight champion is very vocal about it. They’re an inconsistent organisation, and all this franchise stuff is absolute garbage, but I just can’t feel as aggrieved as some about them screwing Whyte over. He’s using his wealth to get the best lawyers to cover up his cheating, and he’ll probably succeed in that....so this scuppers him for a year or so. It’s a ban of sorts, not a ban from making money but more a ban of not having a shot at a title.
Not wanting a drug cheat to be their champion? The evidence prior seems they don't have issue with fighters who failed drugs test getting title shots against Wilder. I mean why order Ortiz to fight Wilder and then allow the rematch? The same applies to Fury but they ordered the remtach instead of the first fight. Stivenre failed a drug test prior to his scheduled fight aginst Povetkin that was one year prior to the WBC allowing Stiverne to fight Wilder in a rematch.
He isnt or both Hearn and himself wouldnt be allowed to say the opposite in that Whyte is allowed to fight tomorrow if he wants.
Whyte is quite obviously sitting out a 6 month ban as we speak. I doubt this matter will be spoken about again in public. Whyte/Matchroom with the cash to sweep this under the carpet relatively quietly.
Hearn and Whyte talk about fighting in December in every interview whilst claming he is free to boxing under any board tomorrow. If he was was on a unofficial ban wouldnt they just be hush hush over it?
I cringe at all the fortune tellers and experts here proclaiming “Whyte is riding out a 6 month ban” “Obviously” “ for sure” Yes everything is very obvious two year ban for Jack3d And 6 months for dianabol Mhmmmmm how many pay offs? like 50 people??? mhmmmmm obviously makes sense
Wouldn't there be legal reprimands for claiming he wasn't banned if he was? If Whyte does end up fighting in December it proves this so called silent is rubbish.
