UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic has made notions in the past about competing in the sport of professional boxing and facing heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua.
The heavyweight kingpin got the attention of Joshua after an article mentioned them fighting in a “dream fight” on the McGregor vs. Mayweather under card.
However, the boxing champion no sold the fight against Miocic, this is according to a Twitter posting by Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA):

Upon hearing what was said by the boxing champion, the UFC Heavyweight Champion issued a response of his own via Twitter:
. @anthonyfjoshua "This guy" is the universally recognized as the baddest man on the planet. You aren't even the baddest man in the UK.
