When former WBC cruiserweight title holder Tony Bellew said in an interview with Sky Sports that he would take on UFC champion Michael Bisping, the mixed martial artist was quick to respond on Twitter.
Before long, the pair had agreed to a boxing match – once Bisping has dealt with Georges St-Pierre in a challenge to his middleweight crown on November 4.
"For the record, after GSP, I'm down to have a boxing match with you 100 percent," wrote Bisping.
The reply from Bellew read: "Well it looks and sounds good to me... @EddieHearn can provide the stage and I'll provide a knockout to add to my highlight reel."
Just to clear things up.. I didn't call @bisping out! Im actually a fan of his tbh! They asked "would I fight him" to which I replied "YES" https://t.co/LY8a6ONdMC
