It was recently reported that the UFC has been in deep discussion over a possible cross-promotional match up between boxing champion Anthony Joshua and UFC’s Alistair Overeem. Now, it would appear that Overeem is willing to take on the boxing champion, as long as he steps into the octagon and not a boxing ring.
Over Twitter, Overeem responded to the recent news with “I had my journey out of MMA and became champion in another sport, the K1 ring. No desire to redo but willing to welcome others into the UFC!”
