"And then, the whole thing is, wie, never-ending."
To be completely honest, I don't know if [FuryWilder] will take place in October. Who knows?
"But at the very least, if this fight happens and AJ defeats Usyk with a victory, then we have bought fought around that time and can then try to make the undisputed bout."
Joshua, 31, believes he will share the ring one day with Fury. He told the Daily Mail that he is certain of it.
"I understand what people think about boxing politics but I promise that I will do everything I can to fight Tyson Fury before the end my career.
"We saw it with Floyd Mayweather (not fighting until their late twenties), but it was a great fight.
"Me and Fury are streets, two warriors and two fighters who came from the amateur system of the UK and have taken over the world. We will get it on in Britain."
