Dillian Whyte looked to take on Otto Wallin on October 30. However, a shoulder injury ruled Whyte out of the fight. So instead of re-scheduling his fight with Wallin, the WBC decided to give Whyte his long-awaited title shot. Then, during the WBCâs convention in Mexico last week, the WBC decided to put the fight on hold due to an ongoing legal issue between Whyte and the WBC.
