Joyce was initially in talks to contest a WBO interim belt with Usyk when Joshua and Fury were on a collision course but he could still force himself into the world title picture.
“Joe will be mandatory to the world title,” said Jones. “Hopefully Joshua and Fury get it on, and Joe will get the winner.
“Joe’s time will come. He wants to see Joshua vs Fury too – there needs to be an undisputed title fight. He doesn’t care who wins.”
Joyce earned a career-best win by stopping the previously-undefeated Daniel Dubois last time out.
He will return against Cameroon-born Takam, who went 10 rounds with Joshua and has also shared a ring with Alexander Povetkin, Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker.
Jones said: “What is Joyce, in the prime of his life at 35, going to get from fighting a no-hoper?
“We want to build on the Dubois fight against a name that people know, and someone who will have a go.
“Joe is in a great position and we could take an easier fight but he isn’t like that. Joe wouldn’t be up for fighting a no-hoper.
“Takam is notorious for having a go. He’s dangerous, he has operated at the world level for a long time.”
