It appears that more UFC fighters are looking to follow in Conor McGregor’s footsteps and go into boxing to earn a huge payday. Earlier today, boxing champ Anthony Joshua learned that his rematch against Wladimir Klitschko was off because the Ukranian boxer decided to retire from boxing.
News of Klitschko’s retirement led to UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic to call out Joshua on Twitter to challenge him to a fight.
Much respect @Klitschko on an incredible career. Good luck on the next chapter, champ!

This isn’t the first Miocic time has challenged Joshua. Back in June the UFC star fired off this tweet.
. @anthonyfjoshua "This guy" is the universally recognized as the baddest man on the planet. You aren't even the baddest man in the UK.

It is worth noting that unlike McGregor, Miocic does have boxing experience but Joshua is easily the best heavyweight boxer in the world right now and he would fuck Miocic up if they did meet in a boxing ring.
