It is unclear at this stage what injuries Joshua suffered in the car accident.
While it is estimated that Joshua will return to the ring around February, an injury may put this situation in doubt.
Joshua and his manager Eddie Hearn had pressured Tyson Fury to sign on the dotted line and stage arguably the biggest fight in British boxing history after beating Jake Paul earlier this month.
Fury is expected to retire next year after quitting the sport following his second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024.
Hearn said: ‘Of course we want the Tyson Fury fight. This is the fight, the biggest fight.
‘By the way, we can do this right now. There is no intermediate fight. If Tyson is ready and AJ is ready, we don’t need to fight in February or March. I think it says eight weeks, 24 hours to sign a contract.’
Before Joshua added: ‘The world’s best promoter talks to Turki [Al-Sheikh]His Excellency Riyadh Season and will now deliver these messages and speak to my training team.
‘I am a strong man. I want to continue, but the coaches, it’s up to them, they are the ones who guide me. Fighters will always fight, coaches are there to guide us.
‘They know what I’ve been through for the x number of weeks I’ve been with them, so it’s up to them to decide. They’ll talk to Eddie and hopefully I’ll have some news within a week.’
