Joshua fought his last fight in September, when he was defeated by Oleksandr Uzyk, 35, after 12 rounds.
Although he has not exercised his right for an immediate rematch in his favor, Usyk was also in discussions to unify his belts in the Middle East with Tyson Fury's WBC version.
This complicates things as Fury (33), is required to face Dillian Whyte (33) next at the WBC.
Usyk owes AJ a contract rematch. Joshua and Whyte would have to pay a step aside fee.
Both were offered a deal to sever their fights, in order to enable Fury and Usyk, the four-belt heavyweight unification, to take place.
Joshua, however, denied ever agreeing for a PS15m deal in a recent social media posting.
