Why has wlad never fought for the WBC belt ?

Maybe he'll face Wilder for it after facing Fury.

 

Because his brother had it.

 

:good

 

Because Vitali was in the back round waiting till the cost was clear before coming out of hiding.

Toney , Peter and Maskaev were all messing around with the belt before he re-surfaced and used his Emeritius status to get an immediate shot at the title.

There was never an opportunity for Wlad to get into the mix and he knew bro was coming back anyway so there was no point pursuing it .

 

I doubt he ever will be either. HBO boss Hershman said Wilder is in no hurry to face him.

 

Vitali went for the WBC title while Wladimir aimed for other belts. When his brother retired, Don King ceased the moment and kept the title in his stable till Vitali came out of retirement and took advantage of his interim position to force the fight with Peter. Now it's a similar case only with others keeping the WBC title as far away as they possibly can from Wladimir.

 

Wladimir fought for the WBC International title in 2000 against Paea Wolfgram. Lewis held the title from 1997 until the first Rahman loss. And reclaimed it afterwards.

 

By the time K bros got the chance for the WBC belt, Wlad was demolished by Sanders and Brewster later on, so it was out of question for him to fight Lennox, Johnson or Sanders, Vitali was the one made it to the #1 Challenger position. And it was very well known Vitali was gonna come back when he was on lay-off, Wlad always knew his brother would be back for the WBC title.

 

even the times wlad never had it he didnt want to win ALL of the belts and leave his older brother without any
