Does Usyk want to use Wilder as a "warm-up" for the similarly-styled Wardley?

Wardley has been compared to Wilder on numerous occasions. Similar styles, with a devastating one punch get-out clause. Both Wilder and Wardley have been known to lose rounds to superior boxers, only to pull it out the bag last minute with a single game-changing bomb. Does Usyk want to ease himself into a fight with the younger, fresher Wardley by fighting the past prime Wilder first, who has some style similarities? Is it just coincidence that he was mandated to fight Wardley but instead vacated the title and chose a past prime guy with a similar unorthodox style to Wardley. Or is it a strategic move on Usyk's part, in preparation for a 3x Undisputed fight against Wardley next?
