The WBC has lifted Dillian Whyte’s suspension after he was cleared by UK Anti-Doping last week. The British heavyweight has been reinstated as WBC interim champion and will be given a chance to fight in February 2021 for the full title – after Tyson Fury has fought current champion Wilder for a second time. “The WBC lifts its provisional suspension and confirms Mr. Whyte’s recognition as WBC interim world champion. “Interim champion Whyte will become the mandatory challenger of the division immediately after the mandatory defence of champion Deontay Wilder against the current one mandatory challenger Tyson Fury. “The mandatory defence against Whyte must be carried out before February 2021.”
