    "He has repeatedly called out Joe for a long time," Joseph Parker's promoter David Higgins said of Whyte.

    "Given he is waiting for another shot at AJ, which may take a long time to come, we are ready, willing and available to fight him - we're saying put your money where your mouth is.

    "We're not calling him out, we're just saying Joe is keen to fight him. Joe's reputation and profile in the UK have increased significantly following the Joshua fight and a fight between Joe and Whyte would easily sell out the O2 Arena, so it would make financial sense for Whyte to take this fight, too."

    Meanwhile, the WBC has just ordered Whyte to fight Ortiz, with the winner becoming the second mandatory challenger to Wilder.

    Seems Breazeale is first mandatory challenger to Wilder.

    Whoa whoa whoa...

    Pulev just said last week that he was fighting Whyte.

    How does Ortiz get an eliminator off a loss

    I guess one would have to ask the WBC the answer to that question.

    Someone just pointed out in another thread that the WBC heavyweight ratings more closely resemble the RING heavyweight ratings than any of the other orgs :

    Deontay Wilder (USA) - Champion

    1 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) - Silver Titleholder
    2 .- Dominic Breazeale (US)
    3 .- Alexander Povetkin (Russia)
    4 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba)
    5 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand)
    6 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria)
    7 .- Tony Bellew (GB)
    8 .- Johann Duhaupas (France)
    9 .- Charles Martin (US)
    10 .- Adam Kownacki (US)
    11 .- Agit Kabayel (Germany) EBU
    12 .- Oscar Rivas (Colombia/Canada) NABF
    13 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
    14 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
    15 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)

    The RING's ratings are generally awful in all honesty.

    And it just proves how bad the WBC is....Wilder has only fought 3 of those guys.

    Breazeale is #2 and Wilder is getting panned because he might fight him next.

    Parker just got added.

    Joshua has beat 1,2,5,9,14 on that list....and will be mandated against 1/6 + 3.

    Is Wilder happy feeding on Joshua's scraps?

    Are you happy turning a thread about Parker wanting to fight Whyte into yet another Wilder hate thread??

    Lol.

    Wilder creates his own threads by fighting 1 World Champion in 40+ fights.

    Wilder doesn't even post here.

    It's one trick ponies like you who pollute every thread here with Wilder hate.

    Weren't you claiming "I don't care what fighters earn, I just want to see the fight" like 2 weeks ago?

    Such lies.

    Wilder has been offered the fights and has turned it down, he's ducking.
