    Anthony Joshua has been called out by American heavyweight Chris Arreola who tried tempting the British fighter into battle.

    The 41-year-old nicknamed 'The Nightmare' has suffered back-to-back defeats against Andy Ruiz Jr and Adam Kownacki both by unanimous decision. Joshua is also hoping to bounce back from two losses to Oleksandr Usyk and is yet to announce who he will face on a return to the ring.

    Per ESNews, Arreola said: "That’s [Joshua fight] one of the things that’s been in the works. Let's make it happen. I’ll take that fight – I love it! Joshua, don’t be a b****! Let’s make this happen bro."

    Last weekend Deontay Wilder beat Robert Helenius by a brutal first round knockout. The Bronze Bomber had previously said he would fight AJ in what would be the 'biggest fight in the world' but not until after his Helenius fight.

    Wilder previously said: "As long as we're both still in the business of fighting then there's always going to be an opportunity there because true or not every time I hear people they always tell me 'when are you going to fight Joshua?

    ""Right now that's the biggest fight in the world between us still, right now still. That is the number one matchup that everybody is always asking me about."
