However, an arbitration hearing in the US ruled that Fury must first face the American Deontay Wilder in the third of their meetings as part of a contractual rematch clause.
Joshua will be defending his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world titles against Usyk.
The fight will be broadcast live on a pay-per-view basis in the UK on Sky Sports Box Office.
