Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya wants to sign Anthony Joshua.
Who doesn't?!
(Joshua's response to UFC champion Stipe Miocic's call-out is brilliant:)
Joshua, 28, recently bagged the WBO world heavyweight title, adding the belt to his impressive haul which includes the IBF, WBA (super) and IBO belts.

He improved his professional record to 21-0, after inflicting Joseph Parker with his first pro-defeat following a points victory at the sold-out Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Team Joshua and Eddie Hearn are now plotting another mega unification clash in the shape of Deontay Wilder, who holds the WBC title.
Hearn has guided Joshua's whole professional career after snapping him up following his heroics in the 2012 Olympics. He made the podium, claiming a gold medal.
But could Joshua jump ship?
Joshua's promotional contract with Hearn expires at the end of the year, and, naturally, plenty of promoters want to add him to their stable of fighters.

Including De La Hoya. He's expressed his desire to promote Joshua in the States, tentatively offering him a tasty, tasty offer.
Joshua reportedly raked in £18 million from his bout against Parker.
However, De La Hoya is claiming he would potentially table him in excess of £40 million.
Wilder is subject to interest, too.

De La Hoya is keen to make the pair of unbeaten, heavyweight world champions household names on television network HBO.
As well as devising a two-fight plan. A world title bout in the U.K, before an immediate rematch on Wilder's patch.
Meanwhile, Joshua is targeting Wilder, insisting a fight on British shores.

Here's hoping the bout comes to fruition this year.
