And only wants the belt and has plans to wait til Wilder loses the belt so he can get it off someone else.

I bet that is why AJ turned down a career high payday of 50million to fight Wilder when he was offered.

“It’s impossible for Wilder to stay champion for the rest of his time,” Joshua said. “He’s had tough fights [Eric] Molina, [Tyson] Fury and with Ortiz. He’s had close fights with certain people. It’s coming close to a time when that belt should change hands. So it’s not so much about Wilder. It’s more about what I can achieve by winning the undisputed.”

But it is not the fight with Joshua.
"That's never been our fault," Deas said about a fight that both sides have, at times, tried to make happen. "We offered Joshua $50 million, and it was real, and they said no, and they offered us $15 million, and we said yes, and they still decided not to do the fight. It's clear who has wanted the fight. I like to deal with no games. With Ortiz, no games. With Fury, no games. With Breazeale, no games."
