I think the fight happens.
I beleive the people behind AJ realize the cash cow will eventually run dry and are trying to maximize their profit.
Their choices ( IMO ) were something like :
-Fight a few mid level guys then go for a title shot again.
Problem - risks losing before getting a title shot and all's pretty much lost.
- Fight Wilder for a big money fight.
Problem - Wilder might flatten him and pretty much end his career as an Elite HW.
Fighting Fury for the title in a UK mega fight is the best option for Team Joshua IMO.
Nobody really expects him to win so if he does lose its not as big of a deal.
Plus the Wilder fight will still be there.
I can't see it happening. Saying that I thought the same thing about Benn v Eubank, and Parker v Joyce. I thought that was dead in the water after Parker signed to Sky.
