The WBC champion is a free agent, despite having longheld allegiances to Showtime, and streaming service DAZN are believed to have offered the Alabamian a $100+ three-fight deal.
A deal with DAZN, who have first option on British IBF, WBA and WBO champion Anthony Joshua, would bring an undisputed heavyweight fight to the forefront.
However, wideheld belief is that Wilder will reject DAZN's offer and instead announce a fight with heavyweight challenger Dominic Breazeale.
Breazeale was defeated in seven rounds by Joshua in the first defence of his world title.
