Why not? Keep it fresh. No do-overs.
I didn't think that JJ was all that. I thought Dubois was going to beat him until he quit fighting.

I like the Wilder/AJ trilogy. With some good odds, I'd go with Wilder.
Looks like the WBO are pushing the buttons. Wonder if the AJ/Usyk (if it happens) will also be for the WBA title?

I think Eddie will do OK from this. Surely he knew this was a possibility and that is why Usyk v JJ was never announced. Now he plans AJ v Usyk which will be a big fight in UK making good coin for all.
Then if AJ wins he fights the winner of Wilder v Fury for even bigger coin than originally on offer.
While also being able to stack the undercards... Jp v Chisora 2 - if he wins that he fights JJ on the next ...

If Wilder wins vs Fury and theres no rematch clause I see the WBC belt staying in the Haymon stable. If Fury doesnt have the belt I dont see AJ as interested in the fight.

If Wilder wins, it's AJ/Wilder. If Wilder does win, it'll be by KO. Making the AJ fight enticing.

They couldnt make a fight before. Why now? Hell be back to cherry picking the PBC roster.

Before that the AJ - Wilder fight was on and off
Lots of noise from both parties claiming ducking etc
Then Fury said he'll take the fight - so thats how we got wilder v furey 1
