He is also in discussions to accept stepaside cash to allow Usyk to fight bitter rival Tyson Fury to defend his WBC crown.
He claims that a lucrative deal to fight and then sit out the winner is not in his plans.
He told Stuff that he has been unsuccessful twice but that he had overcome many obstacles the majority of the time.
"Next fight, I'm going beat him (Usyk), and I'm going take those belts away from him.
"And I'm going back to reign to become the three-time heavyweight champion in the world, whether people like or not."
Joshua, who avenged his 2019 TKO defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr., has parted from Rob McCracken, his long-time mentor. He is now ready to launch a new regime.

He confirms that the crushing disappointment at losing his titles for the second time is what drives such dramatic change.
He stated, "As I only fight one or two times a year I need to keep busy and active in the gymnasiums.
"But, because I lost my last fight in the ring, there has been a lot reconstruction in my team.
"I have a mental approach to training, looking for ways I can improve and not just jump in from a physical perspective.
"I don't like what happened before because that's a competitor’s mindset.
"You must be angry about losing. It's unacceptable. It's now about moving forward.
"One thing that people know about me, is that I bounce back and don't take losses. "I fight for the best every time - that's been part of my DNA."
AJ's critics accused him of accepting defeat too readily after both defeats.
He did however reveal the pain he endured after taking a beating, and then being left out in the championship cold.
He stated, "After the loss I had to give myself four to five days.
"I did a lot of recovery stuff, such as ice baths and cold water showers, stretching and physical therapy.
"Other people only see fights, but in mine there were years of training that led up to that point.
"So it's not just fighting but also all the physical beating that I have to recover from."
