Hopefully that's the case and the fight can be made. Money will talk at the end of the day.

Wilder himself says he can fight wherever. Showtime doesn't need to be involved. Fury-Wilder in the UK would still do massive money.

That time would be awful for ESPN though for the money they are paying... and the contract is that he will fight in the US
