UFC Heavyeight Champion Stipe Miocic hasn’t been seen inside the Octagon since defeating Junior Dos Santos in the main event of UFC 211.
The heavyweight kingpin is current getting some contract issues worked out with the UFC, but that hasn’t stopped him from looking towards the future.
Miocic has issued a challenging to WBA & IBF Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua.
It was through Twitter that the UFC Heavyweight Champion issued the challenge to the boxing heavyweight champion:
. @anthonyfjoshua looks like your schedule is wide open. No excuses, let's dance! #BaddestManOnThePlanet

This isn’t the first time that Miocic has called out Joshua, as the MMA star challenged the boxer this past June:
. @anthonyfjoshua "This guy" is the universally recognized as the baddest man on the planet. You aren't even the baddest man in the UK.

Joshua has yet to respond to the challenge from Miocic, but he was recently ordered by the WBA to defend the gold against Luis Ortiz.
