Wilder will find some way to duck out again to fight a softer touch. We've heard this story many times before.
Without a belt on the line, this seems like a tough sell for both fighters. You win, you don't get a belt. You lose, you're even further from a title fight. Maybe if fury retired and vacated, and it was a fight for that belt, maybe.
Haven't we just? Joshua/Hearn are the only party who twice dropped the ball on making that bout with immediate effect. It could have been theirs after Parker if they'd wanted it, but they let the clock tick until the WBA stepped in.
Now all kinds of BS and speculation floating around and Wilder hasn't even won his fight yet. I read Usyk wants him next, now AJ. The HW division turning into a clown show where they are not making realistic fights that are negotiated but going all over the place. They'll just keep throwing names out there for publicity and news. Fury decided to close negotiations even when his team & promoter were still working on it. That fight might still happen by the end of the week, I'll wait for that to see what happens.
Very few fans respect the alphabet boys so belts don't mean as much as names. AJ wilder is one of the top four HW fights that could be made at this point.
