“Or we could do both and consider next week just a practice session” Musk added.

“Or we could do both and consider next week just a practice session” the Twitter owner stated.

In the Threads post Zuckerberg wrote, “I love this sport and I’ve been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me. If he ever agrees on an actual date, you’ll hear it from me. Until then, please assume anything he says has not been agreed on,”

The Meta boss further noted that he was not holding his breath for Elon Musk and will share the details of next fight when he is ready. He wrote, “Not holding my breath for Elon, but I’ll share details on my next fight when I’m ready. When I compete, I want to do it in a way that puts a spotlight on the elite athletes at the top of the game. You do that by working with professional orgs like the UFC or ONE to pull this off well and create a great card,”
