Tyson Fury has just been made mandatory challenger to face Deontay Wilder. Source also talks about Whyte’s failed drug test and possibly made 2121 mandatory if he clears his name, and passes future drug tests. https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/...y-dillian-whyte-deontay-wilder-mandatory/amp/
Apparently heavyweights can't be named Franchise champion. Something about only guys who move up and down weight classes qualify?
Pretty sure they just make it up as they go along, as long as it fits their current desired narrative.
I've just emailed the WBC to tell them I'm the HW franchise champ. This is gonna complicate matters for Wilder and I'm hoping to land a tidy sum to step aside. A takeaway pizza will probably do it....
