Wilder is being aggressive to put pressure on AJ. If Wilder was passive, the fight wouldn't happen until 2019. By being aggressive, Wilder has made a 2018 showdown far more likely.
We don't think AJ is ducking anybody, but clearly the smart business move is to avoid Wilder for another fight or two. Not that Wilder would be the favorite, but he's more of a threat than Parker.
So to the many fans who want this fight NEXT, Wilder is correct when he says it would be happening next if it were up to him.
But it's up to the A-side, AJ, which is why it's unlikely to be next.
