WBC interim champion and mandatory challenger for this title Briton called for the WBC champion and his team to show respect for him and the fact that the champion must carry out mandatory title defenses. Earlier, Fury co-promoter Bob Arum claimed that mandatory protection against White is a meaningless event that would not cause public interest, and even suggested that the WBC could make Fury his franchise champion, thereby relieving him of the need to fight with White.
However, after White decided in court to confirm his right to fight for the WBC title, the head of the organization, Mauricio Suleiman, said that after a rematch with the WBC champion must meet with the mandatory applicant, and the issue of assigning him franchised champion status will not even be considered before the mandatory defense.
“Bob Arum needs to shut up, that’s what he needs to do,” White said in an interview with Sky Sports about Arum’s opinion on mandatory title defenses. “Listen, he’s in the Hall of Fame, and he’s a nice person and all that jazz, but he’s just talking nonsense.” He needs to calm down. It is necessary to respect yourself and treat with respect to me, too, and understand that I deserve this position. Have a little honor and decency. You’ve been in boxing for a long time, you understand what it is. ”
“His team is talking about a franchise champion, but we intervened and stopped it,” White added. – It’s good. The WBC has confirmed that it will not make him a franchise champion, and this is a step in the right direction. He will have to meet with me or give up the title. “
Yesterday it was officially announced that White’s deferred protection against WBC’s temporary title against coronavirus will be held on August 22.
“Is he [Фьюри] I wish I didn’t get my chance, because he probably would rather meet with Povetkin than with me, because Tyson Fury understands everything. He is called the “Gypsy Baron”; I call him the “Gypsy Coward.”
