It seems that the WBC and the IBF have a tendency to have black only heavyweight title eliminator fights of late. Just last Friday Eddie Chambers fought Derrick Rossy in an IBF eliminator, and recently Odlanier Solis defeated Ray Austin in a WBC one. I do recall Chambers earlier defeating Dimitrenko in a WBO fight, and Thompson defeating Krasniqi in a WBO fight as well, so the WBO at least does have some European fighters. Also, the last WBA eliminator had two boxers of at least some white ethnicity, Chagaev and Meehan.
Still, there are so many good white fighters that every title eliminator should have at least one white fighter if not two. Personally, I wouldn't mind if there was an eliminator semifinal of two Europeans, and a similar one of two fighters from the Americas, with the winners squaring off in an eliminator final.
