Joshua retained his IBF, WBA and IBO world
heavyweight titles with a 10th-round stoppage-win over Carlos
Takam in Cardiff on Saturday.
The 28-year-old said he was keen on fighting fellow Briton Fury,
whose license was suspended by the British Boxing Board of
Control after he relinquished his two world titles last year to
focus on overcoming his mental health problems.
"It's Anthony Joshua versus the world right now, I have got to
fight them all," he told Sky Sports.
"Eddie is right, as a promoter it works well for him, it works
well for me and I think it works well for people who want to
watch me and Fury get it on.
"I wish him the best of luck with what he's going through
because we need to see him back in the ring. Eddie has been on
the phone to Tyson, trying to make things happen and support his
cause."
Fury, who has a 25-0 record, was also charged with a rule
violation by UK Anti-Doping after a urine sample from February,
2015 showed traces of the banned stimulant nandrolone. He has
denied any wrongdoing.
Joshua understands he must also fulfill his obligations with
regard to mandatory fights as a champion against opponents
including New Zealand's Joseph Parker and American Deontay
Wilder.
"At the minute, the fighters who are closer on a championship
level are the likes of Parker and Wilder," Joshua added.
