UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic stated his desire to square off with boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua as part of the August Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather event.
Joshua, though, isn’t interested in facing Miocic.
However, after a report came out that Joshua is willing to fight on the undercard of McGregor-Mayweather, Miocic has fired back against the self-proclaimed “baddest man on the planet.”
. @anthonyfjoshua "This guy" is the universally recognized as the baddest man on the planet. You aren't even the baddest man in the UK.

Miocic is coming off a successful title defense over Junior dos Santos where he finished the former UFC titleholder in the first round to improve to 17-2 overall. Joshua (19-0) has finished all 19 of his boxing matches, including his recent win over Wladimir Klitschko. A rematch with Klitschko is in the works for later this year.
