    Hughie isn't even ranked top 15. According to WBC rules - for what i have understand: He can't give a shot to anybody outside of the top fifteen:

    So can someone explain it to me?

    And would WBC still allow such a free picked fight?

    Wilder would just phone WBC and tell them where they should place Hughie, had he taken the fight. We are talking about an organisation that placed Eric Molina at #12 or something.

    So that's it, a simple phone call from Wilder?

    Duhaupas went up to #12 in the WBC rankings when Wilder fought him.

    I think it is pretty unfair on the "top 15" guys Wildmills faces.

    One he beat them they drop in ranking..

    Eric Molina now ranked 31 you would think he would have kept his top 15 ranking for losing to WBC's champ..

    Johann Duhaupas only dropped to 19 so his performance must have been better..

    Get him while he's raw and skinny and beat him up for a check. Add another defense to the paper belt.

    What?!

    This is the most horrible organization policy ever...

    An organization that officially declares the heavyweight champion of the noble art of self defense... But doesn't even follow their own rules... How the pizz could it be taken seriously by some?

    How can posters rank WBC as the best and most legit organization to be declared as a world champion?

    Tyson Fury should take the fight, then **** on the belt and throw it to the garbage where it belongs.

    WBC isn't worth ****...

    He went up to 12 when he beat Charr, who was still in the top 15 at the time.
