I was just wondering why he's Fighters never fight for the WBC title or their international titles
He loves the WBO we all know that and I rate them a great organisation plus he does a lot with the WBA and occasionally the IBF but never with the WBC
A few years back Dereck Chisora had a crack at the WBC Heavyweight title but only because it was a voluntary none of Franks Fighters work their way into a mandatory position with the WBC any reason?

Probably because the WBO is the cheapest / least in demand when it comes to sanctioning fees and competition with other promoters for rankings.
The WBC seems to be the one that a lot of (mostly Mexican) fighters crave most - the green belt - but this is becoming less and less common these days.
I'd imagine Warren or any other promoter will find it easiest to build a main relationship with one body as opposed to four, and will probably try to steer clear of competing against other domestic promoters where they can as it would mean pitching their man against the man of a competitor promoter / TV company. Hence why a lot less Matchroom fighters are going after WBO titles.
