Dillian Whyte fears a new world champion title, although he becomes the mandatory challenger of the WBC.
Whyte won the vacant WBC heavyweight title with his impressive unanimous win against undefeated Oscar Rivas.
He is now the first to challenge for the WBC belt and the body that sanctioned him, claiming that he will have his shot in May.
But Whyte fears he will be a victim of boxing again and defending champion Deontay Wilder is scheduled to make his debut in Luis Ortiz on November 9, before his return leg against Tyson Fury in the spring.
The "Body Snatcher" is afraid of not being able to be taken into account and is already the number 1 competitor of the WBC for more than 600 days.

"It's boxing," said Whyte, as he proudly wore his green WBC champion t-shirt. "People talk a lot but, when it comes to the question, not much is accomplished.
"I'm the mandatory challenger now, but I'm already the # 1 competitor for over 600 days. Maybe being mandatory means that I still have to wait 600 days.
"I do everything I can. I do not hide from anyone. I won every fight they asked me to win, eliminator after eliminator. I will fight again in November or December, and then we'll see what happens. "
The promoter Eddie Hearn is determined to ensure that Whyte is never forgotten again and is certain that his moment will finally come next year.
"We must continue to pressure the WBC to make sure that it remains committed to what it is fighting for the title before May 2020," Hearn said.
"He may have to wait a little longer, but if he does, it will not be the end of the world because we now know he will try to win the world title."

Hearn promised Whyte an easier opponent by the end of the year after defeating Rivas' quartet, Dereck Chisora (twice), Joseph Parker and Lucas Browne in his last seven games.
"I'm going to fight Lennox Lewis," joked Whyte, who once again proved to Rivas that he was at the world level with his chic and brave screen.
The Brixton fighter dominated during the 12 rounds, wounding Rivas with a straight piston to the second and an expert shot.
The Colombian imposed on Whyte only the third time of his career in the ninth, with a uppercut right, but he recovered with flying colors to finish the inning in the lead.
Whyte, 31, who has won his last 10 bouts to 26-1-0, should be rewarded with a shot of the world title against Wilder or Fury.
He added, "Fury would be a big fight here, while Wilder would be bigger in the United States. I just want to fight for the world title. "
