It looks like reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is taking a page out of the Conor McGregor Strategy Guide.

The Cleveland native appears to have nobody qualified enough to challenge for his UFC crown at the moment and took to his official Twitter account to issue a challenge to reigning boxing world champion Anthony Joshua. The call-out came just hours after Wladimir Klitschko, whom Joshua knocked out in an epic war back in April to become the recognized true heavyweight champion, retired from boxing.

Miocic Tweeted out the following message the Olympic gold medal-winning Brit:

. @anthonyfjoshua looks like your schedule is wide open. No excuses, let's dance! #BaddestManOnThePlanet

Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) has yet to respond to Miocic, who last fought at UFC 211 in May when he knocked put Junior dos Santos in the first round.
