Breazeale, 20-1, became the mandatory contender of the WBC Heavyweight division in November 2017. He accepted the WBC’s ruling to support the efforts to potentially finalize the fight between champion Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua throughout 2018 as well as accepting the WBC sanctioning of a voluntary defense of Wilder vs Tyson Fury which took place on December 2018.
