So that means, to truly maximize this potential fight, you need both Joshua and Wilder to make noise in the US. I think the absolute perfect scenario is Wilder beating Ortiz and Joshua beating Parker obviously, then Joshua comes to NY and beats Miller in the Summer while Wilder travels to England in the same time-frame and KO's Whyte. Then both guys make a fight at home in the Winter, Wilder vs Breazeale and Joshua vs Povetkin. That sets up the mega-fight in the US in the Spring of 2019. At that point the fight would bring tons of attention and make RIDICULOUS amounts of money. This is a rare opportunity to make a HUGE HW unification fight that will draw in US viewers. That hasn't happened in a long time, so the 2 sides have to make sure not to cash in their chips too early and ruin the peak possibility by having these guys fight before they are known by casual boxing fans in the US.
