Therefore, they are not under any legal obligation to challenge the other for their titles. It's all voluntary. Since it's voluntary I think that it is only fitting for the two to get a chance the win their respective titles back.
Now if Wilder was a mandatory challenger and he lost, then no he would not have any ethical or legal footing to stand on because he was given an opportunity and blew it. The very same goes for Joshua. Had he been a mandatory challenger and he lost then likewise he wouln't have any ethical and legal footing to stand on either. Once that happens, then the titleholders owe the challengers nothing at that point.
Lastly, the opponent was indeed Joshua but it didn't specify the time or place where the bout would have taken place. Don't you see what I am saying. By them leaving that material fact open, then they leave the door for a fight to happen infinitely; Meaning that it could happen as early 2018 or late as 2027.
