Whyte v Breazeale ordered by WBC for interim title

[Primo Carnera]

If they looked different someone would call the gold, silver or interim titles “major titles”

Meaning?

[Spicoli]

Ugh. Breazeales a nice guy but he doesn't belong near a title. And Whyte shouldn't have to jump through more hoops to get a top dog in the ring. Breazeale starts out like a guy waking up off a bender on a Sunday morning and Whyte fights off the jab and it should be over early. Only thing they have in common is being beat by AJ because they've gone in complete opposite directions after.

[Memphis]

I like Breazeale, he took his lumps off AJ like a man and was a good antidote to Martin who folded like a deckchair at his earliest convenience. Breazeale's bravery was endearing, I want him to do well.

I don't see Breazeale winning this one. I don't buy into the vastly improved Whyte line, for me he was better when he was a lunatic a few years back but he will still have too much all around for Breazeale. He'll move better, hit harder, use better fundamentals, and will probably batter Breazeale to a standstill after half way.

Dominic Breazeale admits he may ditch Dillian Whyte fight in favour of Deontay Wilder showdown

The American is in line for a WBC heavyweight title shot

Dillian Whyte could be set for heavyweight disappointment once again as his proposed WBC ‘interim’ title fight with Dominic Breazeale is in jeopardy.

After a bout with Anthony Joshua fell through, the Brixton heavyweight was ordered to face Breazeale for the right to take his spot as Deontay Wilder’s mandatory challenger.

This order was made as the WBC believed Wilder was on the verge of agreeing a rematch with Tyson Fury and wanted to mop up the mandatory situation in the meantime.

Now however, it seems this may not be the case as Fury has instead signed a co-promotional deal to fight on rival US network ESPN.

“I’m excited,” said Breazeale told Inside PBC on Fox about the news, “That was the biggest thing that’s happened [to me] in the last 15 months.



“A situation like that where Fury kind of pulls out of his rematch is the best thing for the WBC mandatory.

“I’m super excited to take the fight, I’m waiting for the phone call with the date.”

This is of course bad news for Dillian Whyte, as his opportunity to become Wilder’s mandatory may now go begging.

When asked directly about Whyte, Breazeale explained: “That’s actually a fight we’ve been negotiating.

“Me and Dillian Whyte’s people have been talking. Al [Haymon] has done a great job of putting that together, we’re actually moving that ball and trying to get a date set on that.

“But with this news on Wilder coming out, I can’t pass on a world title.

“If I don’t get the world title, I’ll definitely take the WBC ‘interim’ title, for sure.”
