All signs point to it. 1. Brazeale/Molina is apparently a title eliminator for the WBC. 2. Brazeale/Molina is on the Wilder/Stiverne undercard 3. Wilder and Brazeale have a history of bad blood. 4. Brazeale wants another title shot 5. Wilder needs another tomato can 6. A common opponent of AJ. 7. Brazeale is a walking heavy bag. I'm willing to bet that Brazeale will be Wilder's next opponent before the Wilder/Joshua fight. Brazeale is totally a Wilder type of opponent. Like Washington, another former football player lacking in serious boxing skill.
100% will be Breazeale, that's why they are fighting on the same card and Breaze vs Molina has just been announced as a WBC "eliminator" lol
Absolutely you can always tell who the WBC and Wilder's camp are trying to telegraph as Wilder's next opponent. I remember how badly they forced Arreola on the fans. Nothing would stop that fight, not drug positives, or bogus decicisions against journey men. Now this - to be fair I like Breazale- he's tough, and seems like a good guy. He's very limited and slower than stone so that's why he'll get the call. I'm more upset that Molina (goes to show how badly they want Breazale to win) gets into a elimator. Guy was embarrassed by Joshua in an awful showing. What a farce. WBC We be crooks. Protecting Tay all day everyday
Wbc eliminators are a joke, how wilder somehow skipped the queue when multiple fighters had already fought final eliminators was a joke. How they tried so badly to get areola as their champion was embarrassing . then they have organized it to where only Americans can now fight in eliminators for the belt. The wbc belt is along the same lines as a British title these days maybe less since they don't enforce mandatories as strictly. But it might not be breezy ,James toney has a fight in November if he wins wilder might want him instead
Or Kevin Johnson even. He has a fight lined up too. Also, in my mind, these title eliminators are being given out like candy it seems. No one has to be good to fight in a title eliminator anymore. If you're a bum, you're in.
If you are american and useless the wbc will give you a title eliminator no problem even if you are coming off of 5 KO losses. Tyson fury had won 2-3 wBC eliminators and they then decided to give wilder the mandatory shot after beating scuba Scott out of no where. Funny how when povetkin didnt break the rules and tested under the allowed limit of meldonium they made him fight stiverne in anotger eliminator. But when stiverne fails a drugs test and then doesn't fight anyone he is pushed into the mandatory position. Complete joke
If Breazeale v Molina is an official eliminator then wbc have just ignored fact that Whyte is #2. Not surprising though. WBC and Sulaiman will make things up to suit themselves and keep the backhanders flowing.
Whtye isn't american the wbc don't care if he's ranked, they made wilder vs Scott a final eliminator when there was multiple fighters ranked higher some of whom had already been in multiple eliminators
That would be glorious. If that happens I'll run through the forum naked.. well maybe not naked, I don't want to be banned for life but I'll do it in my best y-fronts.
By that logic, guys like Charles Martin, Shannon Briggs & Kevin Johnson should be on shortlist for Wilder's next opponent. Lol
Martin defiantly is, Briggs was on the list before and I'd say if they can find a way of getting around he's drug bust he is still on the list. All Johnson needs is to beat a Hungarian plumber so the wbc give him a top 15 and he will be right in the mix
