A deal was agreed between Wilder and Joshua but it eventually fell through.
Eddie Hearn blames the Bronze Bomber, claiming "he don't really wanna fight", as he hasn't been in a bout for a year and his last outing was a knockout win inside a minute versus Robert Helenius.
AJ's promoter also hinted he could face unnamed opponent next, who will not be Wilder.
Meanwhile, the American appears ready for the fight and he issued the Brit a plea to get in the ring.
He wants to make "history" and called the thought of no bout happening a "disaster".
Wilder said on Instagram: "Another thing I want to address is a fight that everyone is looking forward to and hopefully happens.
"I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen – I’m referring to the Anthony Joshua fight.
"So Anthony – you’re hearing it from my mouth – I’m here, I’m ready, I’m ready to go.
