Oleksandr Usyk has decided not to fight Tyson Fury in this year's TAG1.
Talks to face Usyk in heavyweight division's first undisputed four-belt decider have been stalled.
Wilder, however, will be returning to Ukraine on October 15th against Robert Helenius. Wilder has offered to take the place of Robert Helenius.
He stated that if he prices himself too high, then they will know where to find him. PS500million is a clear price.
"I'm here Deontay Wilder's side. I'm here for the Division to be strong and exciting again.
"I'm here to smoke. We'll see what happens. Boxing is a business. Boxing is a business. You have to treat it that way.
"We'll be watching how the business is managed for that fight to occur."
Wilder, 36, will face Helenius, 38 in this first bout since they lost to Fury last October in their epic trilogy fight.
In what he claimed was his last fight, the 34-year-old unbeaten British legend knocked out Dillian Howte.
However, plans were changed when Usyk (35), beat Anthony Joshua (32) for the second time after 11 months. Fury was then called out.
After returning to war-torn country for the first time, the star of the pound-for pound has decided against any unification.
Usyk will rest and recuperate with his loved ones, whom he left behind for training camp during Russia's invasion.
Fury, however, isn't content to sit around waiting and claims he will announce his next fight shortly after making a brief WWE appearance.
After WWE's Clash of The Castle, he said: "Usyk was calling my out after his last fight against Joshua.
"I have replied and said, Let's fight this year wherever they want it to be.
"I have been waiting for offers from other countries, but suddenly Usyk stated that he does not want to fight anymore, he wants fight next year, not now.
"So, I'm not going around waiting for anyone, I'm announcing next week a fight."
Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder during their fight in October 2021.
