    One less corrupt sanctioning body would be welcome and might make the others more accountable for their choices but I doubt Whyte will win his court case.

    It was one thing when Rochigianni sued them to the brink of oblivion but then settled rather than sinking the WBC permanently but that was a much more clear case of corruption as they literally stripped him of the title and gave it to RJJ. Proving the WBC broke the law or broke their own regulations will be much harder for Whyte as no doubt the ambiguity of the WBC's own regulations ensures it's hard to prove they broke any rules as there's always a clause that ensures they are within their remit to ignore any of their rules when it suits them.

    We Be Crooks are at it again...why anyone would take them seriously...they will hand the belt and make mandatory anyone they want, anyone who makes them most money.

    I hope Whyte wins his court case and these twats ordered to pay him a billion dollars.

    Mauricio allowed his second favourite godson The Bronze Dosser to pull one of the longest ducks in history (The 1000 Day Duck of Dillian) but his favourite godson Clenelo who is the WBC champion two divisions South has been given the green light to waltz right into a WBC title fight two divisions up at CW immediately :facepalm:

    And the only reason it's scheduled to happen in May/June 2022 is because poor widdle Clenelo needs a rest after sweeping up bones in a graveyard division. If that ginger thief was ready to fight in January his fairy godfather Mauricio would order the fight in a heartbeat.

    And the only reason Clenelo is the WBC champ at 168 is because his fairy godfather decided to throw that belt in as a freebie for his godson even though Callum Smith got his ass paddled something rotten in his previous fight by Juan Ryder and therefore categorically should not have even been defending the WBA title, let alone contesting the vacant WBC.

    Remember when Mauricio and his old man gave Clenelo his first world title as a freebie by matching him up with career 147 pounder Matthew Hatton for the vacant WBC 154 strap? It's not even like Hatton had been campaigning at 154 for a little while or anything because his previous three fights were all title fights for the EBU 147 belt.

    Can't Fury just resolve this himself by saying 'He has waited for long enough so my next defence will be against Whyte' ?

    Given he’s expressed sympathy for Whytes plight in the past in interviews you’d think so. But we’ll probably get Wallin 2.

    As for Whyte, he should have sacked the WBC of ages ago and fought for another belt. There never going to give him a shot especially now he’s suing them.

    Whyte is a force fed hype product who just got iced by a 40 year old. He is not on the level of anyone in the top of the division. He's Chisora 2.0 on his best day.

    Couldn't give a f*** about him before he pulled the Wallin injury, and definitely don't give a f*** about him now. A conman gets conned, this is why everyone in this thread is laughing.

    It's nice for you to want things. But here in the real world, it ain't gonna happen.

    Fury will stop Usyk.

    They make Fury fight Seferi, Schwarz, Pianeta, Wallin, but nobody wants to see Fury fighting "Whyte the bum"?

    Give the man his title shot, he worked his a.s off for it. He is the rightful mandatory challenger for the WBC belt. It's once in a lifetime chance.

    Whyte being mandatory for 1000 days is a Matchroom lie: [url]https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/dillian-whyte-mandatory-position/150905[/url]

    Whyte became the WBC's No.1 ranked contender (not the mandatory challenger) after decisioning Helenius in Britain in October 2017 while Breazeale was made the mandatory after stopping Eric Molina. Wilder fought top ranked contender Luis Ortiz in early 2018, then lineal champion Tyson Fury in a superfight, then his mandatory Breazeale, then Ortiz again before the Fury rematch. In between the Breazeale mandatory and the Ortiz rematch, Whyte beat Rivas to become the new mandatory challenger but subsequently failed a drug test and was suspended from the WBC rankings. Fury took Whyte's former position as the mandatory challenger in November 2019, Whyte was later cleared and reinstated in the rankings in December. Whyte was made mandatory again in April 2020 after Wilder-Fury 2 had concluded but once again lost his mandatory claim when he was starched in August 2020 by a shot Povetkin in Britain in what Hearn claimed was a "final eliminator". 7 months later in March 2021, Whyte beat the corpse of Povetkin in the rematch but his status with the WBC was unclear, with Fury and Wilder set to fight again several months later in their contracted trilogy bout and considering his defeat to Povetkin in the final eliminator.

    TLDR Whyte immediately lost his mandatory position from the Rivas fight after failing a drug test, then lost it again 4 months after reinstatement due to getting KO'd by Povetkin in a final eliminator.

    Whyte's problems are of his own making; he's turned down numerous opportunities and ducked many fighters: Pulev, Ortiz, AJ and most recently Wallin. He's a fake contender and a Matchroom hypejob: [url]https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/whyte’s-resume-simplified.673291/[/url]

    It's doubly ironic as Usyk waited over 800 days as WBA mandatory and would have been waiting a hell of a lot longer if Fury-AJ and their rematches had been agreed.

    Disgraceful from the WBC, I understand why people dislike Whyte but he deserves this shot more than any other contender.
