    UFC’s top heavyweight has offered the Olympic golden boy a ticket to the biggest show on earth on the Maywaether/McGregor undercard.

    Miocic said: “Me against Joshua would be a great fight.

    “I think I’d surprise a lot of people, I think it’d be an amazing fight – let’s do it! He’s a great guy. He’s tough, he’s a champion for a reason. I think I’d give him a run for his money.”

    “If the guys offer me the chance to fight Anthony Joshua – and they offer me a lot of money – then of course I am going to fight him. Boxing is a different sport but those guys are asking because there could be a lot of money in it, that’s all.

    “I have watched Joshua, he is incredible. But in boxing there is always a chance, I will never say there is no chance. If I take the fight I am going to take that chance. If I hit him in the right spot then I know he is going to go down. I know I have the power to knock out anyone.

    "To be honest the guy is an amazing boxer. I think right now Joshua is the No1 heavyweight in the world. I don’t think he is one of the best in the era but at this time I think he can beat anyone in the heavyweight boxing division.”

    I hope he was just responding to another stupid question from a journalist. No money, no interest and no reason.

    I'm a fan of Stipe but come on... just focus on Cain and defending your HW UFC strap dude.

    The undercard will be exclusively TMT fighters on the left side, Ashley Theopane, Tank Davis, that british chick Savannah Marshall he just signed and a few of the lesser known TMT fighters.

    Dana White probably put him up to it because he wants him out of the way or to look bad so he can make it easier to hand N'gumbo the HW title.

    This. Plus his ko punch in ufc would be classed as weak for heavyweight boxing. He gets stretched by anything AJ throws with intentions !

    yeah hes slimy on another level. I seen him talkin to BJ Penn once that warranted a dig. The old boy Don Frye has me laughing. Asked what he would do if white said **** to him. " I kick that Ass all round his office"...and he would, contract or no contract
