Was Joshua going down the WBC/Wilder route before Fury went Awol?

Kevin Johnson - (WBC International)
Gary Cornish (Undefeated) - (WBC+Commonwealth)
Dillian Whyte (Undefeated) - (WBC+Commonwealth+British)
Charles Martin (Undefeated) - (IBF World Title)
Dom Breazeale (Undefeated) - (Voluntary defence)
Eric Molina - (Keep busy....Klitschko fight already signed)
Wlad Klitschko - (IBF+IBO+WBA World Titles)
Carlos Takam - (IBF Mandatory - Replaced Pulev)
Joseph Parker (Undefeated) - (IBF+IBO+WBA+WBO World Titles)


Looks as though Joshua was aiming to go down the WBC route until Fury went awol and dropped the titles.
