Former British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion Skelton is now 47 but is expected to offer the 2012 Olympic gold medallist more of a challenge than Matt Legg.
Joshua, 24, completed his sixth stoppage in as many professional fights in just 83 seconds at Wembley on Saturday as he finished Legg off with a sweet right uppercut.
He said: "I could potentially now step up but I've never been past two rounds.
"I'll be out again in Liverpool on July 12 against Skelton so it will be good to get six to eight rounds in."

Doncaster's Jamie McDonnell claimed the vacant WBA regular bantamweight strap with a stunning 10th-round stoppage of Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat.
McDonnell outboxed his Thai opponent for the majority of the contest before a superb left hook finished him off.
Dagenham's Kevin Mitchell was being well beaten by Canadian Ghislain Maduma in his lightweight clash before he stopped his man in the 11th.
Mitchell won with a left hook after having Maduma down earlier in the round.
The fight was billed as an IBF lightweight final eliminator to face champion Miguel Vazquez.
But Mitchell was two pounds over the limit on the morning of the fight at the check weigh-in and is now not guaranteed his shot.
