Quite obvious this fight isn't going to happen. Convict King is obviously senile and in no position to promote a fight. Stiverne wants to keep his phony belt because he really can't fight at all. Sad situation. Wilder should try to get a fight with the real champion.

Don't penalize Stiverne... isnt his fault that he has a bogus promoter...

I'd like to see Stiverne defend the belt against the Chisora/Fury winner... but then again, the Chisora/Fury fight is a #1 contender's fight for the WBO... so what's more better for that winner? To fight Stiverne for the WBC belt and for less money, or for the lineal championship for a boat load of money?

As for Wilder... he hasn't proven nothing to me, or to that many serious pundits in my view, to deserve a title shot. Though I will admit, his title shot is more "warranted" than say Kayode and others (Chagaev) who hold bogus belts.
