Wenger survived intense and often vicious calls for his sacking as Arsenal's campaign fell apart last season.
And ahead of their opening fixture at home to Leicester on Friday night, Joshua has dealt him another blow.
The IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight champion was asked in a video produced by deodorant maker Lynx if Wenger would be "in or out" this season.
"It seems Wenger out, that's all I'm hearing right now," said a laughing Joshua.
"There's even a track on it and everything," added Joshua, possibly in reference to rapper Uncle Ed's hilarious anti-Wenger tune.
