I keep reading that Whyte vs Rivas is a final elimination for Wilder.
Yet I have not seen any quotes from the wbc directly saying this.
Can anyone find the wbc directly saying it?

There hasn’t been an official announcement. Eddie Hearn claims to have agreed everything with the WBC, but Mauricio Sulaiman’s governing body hasn’t confirmed the Matchroom Boss’ words.

The problem is that the WBC have allowed Deontay Wilder to only two perform mandatory title defences over a 4½ year period.

So even if the WBC agree to making the winner of Whyte-Rivas Wilder’s next mandatory challenger, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ may be allowed to refrain from facing them for another couple of years or so.

EO you need to become Whyte's official PR man. You're pretty much doing it for free at the moment.

Seriously though I have not seen anything from the wbc. All comments are coming from Hearn.
Just curious if it really is a final eliminator

It probably will get made into a final eliminator, just to shut Whyte up.

Anything to shut Whyte up works for me.

It can shut the rest of us up about this topic in the process

LMFAO! YES!

Yes, it has. It has always been ordering final eliminators. A one comes after another.

I'm sorry to sound doubtful. But can you provide any link to the wbc stating it is a final eliminator?
All I can find is Hearn saying it. And I do not trust promoters

As far as I noticed, Whyte has a streak of WBC eliminators.

Whyte has only competed in one.

Didn't all those WBC Silver title fights of him count as eliminators?

Nope. The WBC enjoyed receiving the sanctioning fees though.

Most definitely. The alphabet groups love them sanctioning fees
