DILLIAN WHYTE wants to avenge his defeat to Anthony Joshua in the Octagon.
The Brit, 29, has called on UFC chief Dana White to sign up AJ so they can face off in a cage.
Heavyweight Whyte, who has a background in kickboxing, told Sky Sports News: “If Dana Whites signs him, I’ll fight him in the cage.
“Me and him are linked career-wise. I’d fight two, three times win, lose or draw.
“We have animosity and we bring something special out of each other.”
Whyte faces former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas Browne, 38, at The O2 on Saturday night for the WBC (silver) title.
And the Brixton fighter is looking to adapt to the unusual challenge the Australian brings.
He added: “[Browne] has an unorthodox style.

“He doesn’t box like a traditional boxer. I have to see what he’s doing, adapt to it, and do I do.
“It’s important to look good. He might underestimate my power, get tagged early and think: ‘I won’t get a knockout so I’ll just go the distance’.
“I need animosity and anger but not too much. It’s about finding the right balance.
“I am calm to save my energy – there have been finds where I’ve used too much energy. He’s said I will lose my rag, then he’ll knock me out. He’s told me his game-plan.
“If he wants to box, we’ll box. If he wants to fight, we’ll fight. He thinks it depends on how I cope with his power.
“Everything in my career and life has led to this moment so it’s my time to shine. Lucas Browne thinks differently.”
