AJ fan but honestly don't think Hearn ever wanted it next, he always said late 2018 or 2019 after an interim fight.
But I don't think Wilder wanted it next either though. The 50 mill offer was for a fight after Sept 2018 and was made at a time when he could of fit in a fight with Breazeale. Breazeale himself confirmed he was on standby for a fight for July/Aug.
But whatever either side wanted is moot the Povetkin mandatory takes precedent. Wilder delayed the contract issues for too long and has pushed any possible fight until after Povetkin.
