UFC:s tungviktsmästare Stipe Miocic håller stenkoll på den potentiella supermatchen i boxning mellan UFC-superstjärnan Conor McGregor och Floyd Mayweather. Anledningen är att Miocic själv är sugen på en professionell boxningsmatch – mot tungviktsmästaren i boxning Anthony Joshua. Det uppger han på The MMA Hour:
“If the fight happens, me against Joshua would be a great fight,” sade Miocic. “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.”
”Har boxats förut”
Miocic, som är tidigare Golden Gloves-mästare i boxning i Cleveland, tror inte heller att han skulle ha några problem att ge Joshua en match i ringen.
“I do a lot of boxing and I’ve boxed before, working on my boxing I think I’d be fine. He’s a tough guy, he’s the best in the world. But, I’m pretty tough, too,” menar Stipe.
Miocic tog hem sin femte raka knockout-seger för några veckor sedan då han avslutade Junior dos Santos i den första ronden i huvudmatchen på UFC 211. Han fullbordade därmed sitt andra lyckade titelförsvar sedan han besegrade Fabricio Werdum för mästartiteln på UFC 198 den 14 maj 2016.
Obesegrade Joshua (19-0 boxning) vann nyligen sin nittonde raka knockout-seger mot Vladimir Klitschko på Wembley, och plockade därmed hem WBA och IBO:s tungviktstitlar. Den 27-årige engelsmannen tog OS-guld i supertungvikt på hemmaplan i London 2012.
Har Miocic någon chans i en boxningsmatch mot Joshua?

Mighty Mouse om Tj Dillashaw.
Just so the world know I haven't agreed to anything still waiting on my contract to fight @tazmexufc not @TJDillashaw if he wants a title
— Demetrious Johnson (@MightyMouse) May 24, 2017
Shot he can come to flyweight and get a win then get his turn
— Demetrious Johnson (@MightyMouse) May 24, 2017
Borg och Dillashaws reaktioner…
Would you rather see @MightyMouseUFC headline Seattle and fight Me or @tazmexufc ?
— TJ Dillashaw (@TJDillashaw) May 24, 2017

Tim Sylvia vs. Angela Magana.
@AngelaMagana1 when you keep poking the pit bull and you cry when it bites you. What did you think was going to happen. @AmericanTopTeam pic.twitter.com/uB2m5JoDbH
— Tim Sylvia (@timsylviamma) May 23, 2017
It's ok she wanted an excuse to be suspended until her contract runs out. UFC shouldn't suspend give her another fight to turn down instead😂
— Angela Magana (@AngelaMagana1) May 23, 2017
But why is that? Cause she is a real fight and got where she is on her talent and her fighting ability, and not because she has a nice ass https://t.co/Rqa8c9BYAs
— Tim Sylvia (@timsylviamma) May 23, 2017
Fight was broken up wasn't able to come back at her not fair at all.
— Angela Magana (@AngelaMagana1) May 23, 2017
But you say your a fighter. There is a fighter code you don't press charges against other fighter. You Handel it in the ring or cage. https://t.co/AX4sePDvyy
— Tim Sylvia (@timsylviamma) May 23, 2017
And we r all human and make mistakes every day that's part of life and learning from it. Just like u picking on her and talking shit on web https://t.co/axkiU4RaFo

And I hope your not referring to me being peasantmindset. I have been down roads you will never travel little one https://t.co/ns6NtSDErO

Mycket rage mot den fulla Bud Light-snubben…
He also said they don't want to sponsor the guy who just got knocked out. With the most arrogant tone and attitude. Seriously disrespectful
