    Now that it looks like AJ wont be fighting Miller, Wilder could cancel his bout with Dominic and they could make AJ v Wilder sometime in September in the US

    That would make no sense whatsoever. Why would anyone cancel a fight in May to fight in September?

    Wilder's management have no interest in the fight hence turning down $100m 3 fight deal.

    Do you even pay attention to what Wilder says? He is not interested at all in fighting AJ let alone cancelling Dominic to do it.

    He feels he has given enough to the fans, he gave us Stiverne and he gave us Ortiz. He has done his part.

    Wilder told his fans to stop forcing him to fight AJ, maybe you should listen to him.

    About as much chance of that happening as Miller passing the B sample test.

    Wilder already turned down the fight and he has put a number of obstacles in place the prevent it happening.

    1 - Has to be 50/50
    2 - Finkel says it has to be PPV to maximise potential revenue, which means fighting on Showtime as DAZN do not do PPV.
    3 - No rematch clause, Wilder has said he won't be tied down to more than 1 fight and Hearn has said he'd never agree to any fight against any opponent without a rematch clause for Joshua.
    4 - Has to be an offer from Wilder's team, he's made it clear he wants control of things, so Hearn or DAZN can't make an offer as it will be automatically be refused as it would mean Wilder giving up control of the promotion.
