He first won the world heavyweight titles on points against Joshua in 2021 before winning the rematch a year later.
Usyk, 37, then became the first to ever defeat Fury, 36, with a split-decision last May.
And he followed it up with a unanimous verdict seven months later to regain his heavyweight crown and inflict a second loss on Fury.
Joshua posted an emoji of the Ukrainian flag with the word “respect.”
Fury fumed at the decision and stormed out of the ring to leave his future in doubt.
But Lennox Lewis told TNT Sports: “He goes to London, the biggest fight in history, maybe Anthony Joshua.”
Joshua, 35, is coming off a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, in September.
And promoter Frank Warren was left to answer questions over Fury’s future after the beaten Brit left the ring.

Warren said: “I don’t know, I mean he’s very disappointed as I am.
“I’m not saying this to be biased, everyone along the front there we all thought it was the same way.”
Asked if Fury will fight again, Warren replied: “That’s up to him.
“It’s too early, it’s just after a fight emotions are running high. We’ll see. It’s nuts. Could you only give him four rounds out of eight?”
