There's a huge amount of politics at play too - Wilder is promoted by Al Hayman who certainly won't want to just stand aside and watch Eddie Hearn and Bob Arum put on the biggest fight the world's ever seen. I also think AJ and Fury are probably playing the game, they know that Wilder had the rematch option and needed to draw him out so they announced their fight and here we are. I hope Wilder will let himself be paid off. There is massive risk that if Fury fights Wilder and AJ goes to Usyk one of them loses and this gets drawn out for another 18 months minimum with rematches etc...
