Relax guys. Nobody from either camp are ducking anyone. They both want it. It'll happen on Hearn's terms though.
AJ will fight 3 times next year as pointed out. If Hearn has his way, Wilder will be the last of them. Makes sense from a business point of view. Wilder is now publicly knocking on the door and getting column inches in the UK. It'll build up nicely late for late next year.
You can understand Hearn wanting Wilder to fight Whyte first as he's in his stable. Why not as well?
Fight Whyte in the UK and I'm sure a Vegas bout can be made in Nov '18. Wilder mentioned about the contract not stipulating that he gets AJ after. Why would it? If he loses, who would want to see him fight AJ? If he wins, fans from both sides of the pond would demand it. So it's win or bust. I'm sure he's more than capable of putting Whyte away in his own back yard. That would give him some leverage in wage negotiations as well.
