Called the ‘Mighty Mouse’, Johnson said he wants to enter into the world of boxing after watching Canelo Alvarez beat Jamie Munguia on Saturday.

“I’m going to break some news right now. I came home last night, broke down some content, and was watching Canelo Alvarez. Watching him box, I was like, ‘Oh my god, that looks so damn dope.’ [I] went to the gym, did jiu-jitsu, then came home and [thought I wanted to box],” Johnson said on his podcast ‘Mighty’.

Johnson, 37, said he does not want to fight a random influencer or another MMA fighter.

Instead, he wants to fight the eight-division world champion.

““When my body is ready for a hard training camp, I’d love to box. And it would have to be the right opponent. If it was Manny Pacquiao, f— it, I’m doing it.

“I don’t want to box another MMA guy. I wouldn’t mind, but I want to box a legend of the sport.”

ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong liked that idea.

“I am down for it!” Sityodtong commented. “Two goats!”
