Eric Molina says he has been offered a possible fight against David Price, but is willing to become a replacement opponent for IBF champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua's planned IBF title defence with Wladimir Klitschko hangs in the balance as the Ukrainian could seek out another opponent if the WBA does not agree to put their vacant title on the line.

Promoter Eddie Hearn is considering other options for the Manchester Arena bill on December 10, and has already contacted Molina about a possible undercard fight with David Price.

But the American admits he would happily step in to challenge Joshua, if Klitschko turns his attention elsewhere.

"Yes, definitely I would," Molina exclusively told Sky Sports. "All these other heavyweights, they are playing around. They talk like the want the fight, but they don't really want the fight.

"I want to fight and if they don't want to put me with Anthony Joshua, put me in with David Price.

"I want to be in exciting fights. I'm not afraid of anything.

"I've hurt everyone I have been in the ring with, so if you guys think that it's a far fetched idea for me to hurt Anthony Joshua, hey even better. But I'm 100 per cent confident that I can hurt anybody I can get in the ring with."

Molina has revealed he discussed the Price fight with Hearn earlier this week and believes it should be an "easy" deal to make.

"He said I would like possibly to put you in with Price and I said that's an easy fight to make," said Molina. "I would love to fight over there. I would fight any one of your guys and he knows my standpoint. Put me in with any of them, I want to go and fight.

"The next day I talked to my team, I talked to my manager, my promoter, and they said if they want to do it, let's do it.

"I keep hearing that David Price wants to step-up and is looking at somebody like me, well this is an easy fight to make."
