Anthony Joshua Offered Fight On McGregor vs Mayweather Card By UFC Heavyweight Champ

UFC’s top heavyweight Stipe Miocic 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.” EDIT: ANTHONY JOSHUA RESPONDS TO STIPE MIOCIC

Your the same guy that said Joshua has been Gunshy since Whyte even though he has stopped everyone he's fought. To be truthful you have no credibility your comments are just total rubbish, your a f---ing troll. I said he's kinda been gun shy, he's been less agressive, he barely threw a punch against Martin or Molina until he caught them, he could have stopped both as quick as gary cornish but he choose not to, I'm not saying joshua is shot, but he's been less aggressive than before, still Pulev doesn't have the reach or size to outbox Joshua, Joshua will stop him around round 6 or 7

I'm picking Klitschko to beat Joshua, but I can't see Pulev doing anything to Joshua, he doesn't have the power to keep Joshua off him, even tho he has a better jab he doesn't have the tools to do anything Wlad did against Joshua, so Hearn should try to put Joshua-Pulev on Mayweather-McGregor undercard, and should schedule Joshua-Klitschko2 for December, if Joshua wins he can fight Haye if he beats Bellew in April/May, and he can fight Fury or Wilder in the fall of 2018 and the other in fall of 2019, If he losses he'll have an trilogy against Wlad in May/June of 2018, and have the same schedule win or lose cause he's one of the biggest name in boxing Your the same guy that said Joshua has been Gunshy since Whyte even though he has stopped everyone he's fought.

Joshua made $60 million for the Wlad fight. They could never afford to have him on that card.

I hope mayweather knocks him out and the PPV flops. We need this to end.

It seems you are already counting out Klitschko and Pulev, they both have a very good shot at derailing all those plans.

Joshua isn't gonna fight Miocic lmao, he's got big fights out there & wont get as much money for it. The only reason would be for US exposure but is that how he wants to get known to the US audience? I doubt it

This is indeed slowly turning into a circus act.

Of course it won't happen for many reasons but it wouldn't actually be a bad way to get Joshua's name out the USA audience, or worldwide in general. It's not like there's really any other heavyweights out there that are going to get him those viewing figures and not many fights out there at heavyweight that will even cause a bit of a buzz.

I don't think he will and I don't expect him either, but Joshua has a contract with Sky and he'll get his money through UK PPV, and in the future he'll be a name in the states as well, possibly 3M PPV sells which will have an audience of roughly 40M people in the states, that's a chance Hearn shouldn't let go It seems you are already counting out Klitschko and Pulev, they both have a very good shot at derailing all those plans.

You think Mayweather is going to give Joshua a percentage of the U.S PPV? or let a HW contest out-shine him on his own card?

how can this fight happen if he's not ranked by the IBF or WBA, and with the IBF he can fight Pulev or Wlad next, why not get Pulev out of the way on Floyd's undercard and fight Wlad in December You think Mayweather is going to give Joshua a percentage of the U.S PPV? or let a HW contest out-shine him on his own card?
