Tyson Fury said he was eager to give British boxing fans what they want by fighting for the undisputed world heavyweight title, but said the duo must focus on their immediate opponents to make such a match happen.
Fury won the WBC title in Las Vegas three months ago with a seventh-round stoppage of Deontay Wilder.
Joshua defeated Mexican-American Andy Ruiz Jr in a December rematch in Saudi Arabia to reclaim his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO titles.
Fury will take on Wilder in a rematch later this year.
“If I get knocked out by Wilder, then it won’t be on, will it?
“It’ll be another fight with Wilder… If he loses to Pulev, so close, but so far.
“In heavyweight boxing, you can never count your chickens before they hatch, so one fight at a time, one victory at a time,” Fury told Sky Sports.
“All going well, God willing, we get on the big fight with me and Joshua, the all-British showdown, and I can give the fans what they want to see, especially the British fans,” he promised.
