But Fury's promoter Frank Warren has heard otherwise and has revealed the opponent he believes Joshua will share the ring with in April.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Warren claimed that Matchroom and Sky are aiming to match 'AJ' up with cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, who recently sent Tony Bellew into retirement.
"I am now hearing Joshua’s next opponent for April 13 is not going to be Dillian Whyte and will be Oleksandr Usyk, let them get on with it," Warren said.
"This right here [Fury vs. Wilder] was the best heavyweight fight, ironically, since the Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko fight that was in the same Staples Centre venue in 2003.

"This rematch is the fight boxing fans want to see. Tyson was robbed of a historical moment, he is the people's champion, we will put it right.
"I want it in the UK, Tyson has been saying he wants it in Manchester but I reckon we would only get a draw there too."Anthony Joshua leaves hospital & pays respect to friends killed in car crash
