There is no way AJ will fight Wilder, there is nothing in it for Joshua. No title no honour in the win. AJ would have everything to lose.
Fury would tease AJ for taking the fight and he would be ridiculed for taking poor seconds.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Strange how one loss can be so devastating...bomb squad won’t be yelled for a long time.
yep. Bubble has well and truly been burst.
there will no no intimidation now. He's got no skills, he's old, he's just been knocked out by a perceived pillow puncher and his power bounced off a guy who'd been dropped by a cruiserweight.
The mental strength wilder needs going into a 3rd fury fight exceeds that of what Joshua needed to overcome his demons. Joshua was fighting a guy who had already been beaten by Parker and he was winning the fight before walking onto a punch. Wilder was not in the fight from the start vs fury and there is no blueprint for beating the gypsy king

Deontay Wilder officially triggers rematch clause as Bob Arum identifies potential dates for third fight
Bob Arum has revealed that Deontay Wilder has officially exercised his rematch clause to fight Tyson Fury for a third time.
The trilogy will take place in July before the Olympics, the Top Rank promoter has confirmed.
Fury ripped the WBC world heavyweight title from the American last week in devastating fashion with a seventh-round knockout.
But despite the damage done in the initial rematch, the Bronze Bomber will go straight into a third fight in his bid for redemption.
“Wilder’s representatives formally notified us last night that they have accepted the rematch,” Arum told Ringside Reporter Live
“It’s going to happen in the summer before the Olympics.”
Arum admitted he was unsure as to whether Wilder will have fully recovered by that point following the bruising, two-knockdown defeat, which saw him suffer a badly-cut ear and lip.
The Olympics in Tokyo are set to start on 24 July, meaning the weekend before on Saturday 18 July is the latest the fight will occur according to Arum’s schedule.
In the aftermath of the fight, Wilder listed off a series of excuses for his loss, primarily his ring walk costume, which he claims weighed 40 pounds and sapped energy from his legs.
“I had no legs,” Wilder said. “I’m surprised I went that long.
“I had no legs, and I knew I was in for a fight with these legs and the condition I was in. It was crazy. But, you know, again, it’s nobody’s fault but mine.
“I wore the costume that was that heavy, and I paid the price. I traded the tribute to men and women [for] my title, and you know, as a warrior, I was gonna fight.
“My job was to fight under any circumstances, as a king, and that’s what I did. And I don’t take nothing back.”

Yep, of course he would. But in the meantime, who would Fury be fighting?
We all know Fury fights to the level of the guy he’s fighting. He’s not gonna take any risk for relatively shit money . That’s a fact, look at who he fought between Wilder 1 & 2.
And before you say “Wallin was a risk”, yeah we know that now, but never knew it then .
And it was only a risk because Fury clearly didn’t prepare well enough or was motivated enough.

Exactly that. He needs the elite level opponents and Joshua aside now who else is there? I know usyk is around and his highly skilled but not sure he's physically equipped to cope with Fury.
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Listen to what Tarver says (don't think anyones posted this yet)
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
I think Wilder’s mentality will have him exercise the rematch clause. That being said, I don’t think there is a need at all for a third fight. That wasn’t just a loss the other night, Fury completely and comprehensively dismantled Wilder.
I don’t know how Wilder comes back at this point. He is still a murderous puncher, but he was completely ineffective backing up- that will be trouble for him going forward. Tyson has proven over two fights that he can beat Deontay in a multitude of ways, proving he is the superior fighter.
No need for a third fight, but I’m sure Wilder and his team will force one. Break d should be promoted to head trainer- that was a good time to stop that fight. Head trainer should be fired.
So what’s the deal any news on how bad Deontay was hurt
He had a cut inside his ear, the eardrum wasn't damaged. His leg is a bullshit excuse. He's going to take the third fight with Fury because it's another massive payday but he already knows he's going to lose. Where he goes from the next loss is open to question, how keen will be be to go back to the drawing board at nearly 35 and with tens of millions of dollars in the bank?![]()
Antonio Tarver was bang on the money. But why has it taken so long for everyone to come to this conclusion?
I’m amazed how overboard people go nowadays. 3 day’s ago, Wilder was “the biggest puncher in the history of Heavyweight Boxing!”![]()
