Boxing superstar Deontay Wilder has a message for Anthony Joshua -- LET'S DO THIS!!!!

After Joshua's impressive win over Wladimir Klitschko last weekend, Wilder tells TMZ Sports the time is finally right for a USA vs. Great Britain showdown.

"Anthony Joshua is the man that I want," Wilder says ... "My blood's boiling right now!"

Wilder is the reigning WBC heavyweight champ -- and says he's willing to put his belt on the line for a shot at Joshua in what he believes would be "the biggest mega-fight in world history!"

"You put your belts on the line, I'mma put mines on the line. And at the end of it, we'll see who come out clear of the gun smoke!"

"And I guarantee you ... out of all the gun smokes I done been through, I always been that motherf*cker with the guns on this hip with the clip!"

Leonard Fournette just did his best 'Price Is Right' impression with his mom ... 'cause she just got A NEW CAR!!!!!

Fournette -- who was taken 4th in the NFL Draft by the Jaguars -- is projected to sign a $27 million contract with an $18 million signing bonus.

So, with all that dough coming in, the former LSU superstar decided to spread the wealth by gifting his mother with what appears to be a brand new Mercedes Benz GLE Coupe (which start at $110k).

Leonard is the latest 1st round pick to hook his mom up with a sweet ride -- Deshaun Watson bought his mother a new Jag.

Aaron Hernandez wrote "John 3:16" in blood on the walls of his cell -- and also in ink on his forehead -- before he hanged himself in his Massachusetts prison cell ... this according to the police report.

TMZ Sports has obtained

which says officials at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center found Hernandez in cell #57 around 3 AM on April 19.

In addition to "John 3:16" written on the walls in blood -- officials say there were also several drawings in blood ... though the report does not specify what the drawings were of.

Officials say under the drawings was a Bible opened to the passage "John 3:16" with the 16th verse marked in blood.

"John 3:16" is essentially the centerpiece of Christianity -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The door had been jammed with cardboard -- apparently to prevent people from entering the cell to save him.

When officials broke through, the floor was covered in shampoo to make it slippery -- apparently to prevent Hernandez from gaining his footing in case he wanted to stop himself from hanging.

He had also covered the window to his cell with a sheet which is what alerted officers in the first place.

The report says Hernandez had a fresh cut on his right middle finger and there appeared to be large circular blood marks on each of his feet.

The report also confirms the presence of 3 handwritten notes in the cell -- though the contents of the notes have been redacted.

Investigators -- including a handwriting expert -- analyzed the notes and determined they were written by Hernandez.

Officials say surveillance footage shows Hernandez talking on the phone "just prior to his cell door being locked" for the last time. Officials went back and listened to the call and determined there was no apparent indication of an intent to harm himself.

Tampa Bay Bucs running back Doug Martin was involved in a car accident in Tampa on Thursday afternoon and crashed into an air conditioner ... but luckily he escaped with only minor injuries.

Tampa PD says the 2-time Pro Bowler was driving his black BMW through an intersection when he was hit by another driver in a black Kia who blew through a stop sign. Martin's Beamer was forced off the road and ended up colliding with an outdoor air conditioning unit.

Law enforcement tells us Martin didn't go to a hospital and was treated on the scene for minor cuts and bruises.

As for the other driver, Tampa PD cited him for a stop sign violation.

The Bucs just issued a statement saying, "Doug was the unfortunate victim in an auto accident earlier today after leaving our team facility. While Doug's vehicle sustained a large amount of damage, we are pleased to report that he received only minor cuts and bruises. He has been evaluated by our medical staff and has headed home."

Lonzo Ball finally unveiled his long-awaited Big Baller Brand shoe -- and it can be yours if you wanna spend $500!!!!!!

The shoe -- called the ZO2 -- is more expensive than ANY SHOE currently for sale on the Nike.com online store (for the record, Nike's priciest shoe is the Air Jordan 5 Retro at $400).

And that's not all ... Lonzo's BBB brand is offering a premium collector's version of the shoe for $500 more ... in which you get an autographed pair and a special display case with LED lights.

Lonzo's father, LaVar Ball, has said he plans to move forward with BBB because no major shoe company would give him the "true partnership" he wanted.

Big Baller Brand is also selling sandals for $220 a pop. BBB says they're they're the "ultimate in style and comfort" feature a "non-slip Crystal Gold outsole."

LaVar is clearly gunning for upscale clientele -- we'll see if he hits his target.

Don't stick a fork in Victor Cruz yet ... the ex-NY Giants wide receiver says he's NOT retiring from pro football and he's sick of people claiming he's throwing in the towel.

The 30-year-old was released by the Giants back in February and hasn't signed with a new team yet -- but he's adamant he'll catch on somewhere and he's keeping himself in shape until that happens.

"I'm not retiring," Cruz told "Uninterrupted" ... "This ain't no retirement party!"

Cruz says he wants to join a team in the next few weeks -- hopefully a contender -- and insists, "This ain't over. It's just starting!"

Aaron Rodgers didn't let a little thing like a breakup keep him from letting loose at his teammate's wedding -- at least judging by the pics from Randall Cobb's star-studded wedding!

The Green Bay Packers WR has released the pics from his April wedding to longtime girlfriend, Aiyda -- a wedding where all cell phones were strictly forbidden!

"The entire day was unplugged which was wonderful," Aiyda told TheKnot.com ... "All of our guests were able to enjoy themselves. No one was worried about their phone or posts on social media."

Rodgers wasn't the only celeb at the event -- he and fellow Packers star Jordy Nelson were both groomsmen.

As for the wedding details, it all went down at the Pierre Hotel in NYC. 235 guests.

Aiyda's wedding gown was designed by Carolina Herrera. Party gown by Berta.

Randall rocked a Ralph Lauren tuxedo with Louis Vuitton shoes and Burberry cufflinks.

Dinner sounded dope as hell -- "crusted filet mignon with sweet potato gratin and brussel sprouts, herb-crusted halibut with Parisienne potatoes and carrot julienne, and risotto with roasted vegetables."

Dessert was a 5-tier vanilla cake stuffed with salted caramel, chocolate and cookie filling.

While Steph Curry and LeBron James make another playoff run, Kobe Bryant is reaping the benefits of retired life -- snappin' pics with beautiful models and eating Reese's Puffs.

Super hot Instagram model Shelley Golden posted the encounter in California with the NBA legend, jokingly saying "Me and bae getting groceries as usual."

In case you were dying to find out what food fuels Retired Mamba in the morning ... it looks like Kobe's all about that PB and chocolate deliciousness.

Who said retirement would be boring?

Dana White says he's still "not close" to getting a deal done with Floyd Mayweather to fight Conor McGregor ... but says he's trying his hardest to make it happen.

"To get a deal like this done, this doesn't happen in a couple months," White tells TMZ Sports.

"It's gonna be a tough deal to get done, if it gets done at all."

We also asked him about Mayweather giving reasons why McGregor could actually win the fight -- and White says he was shocked!

"I've never heard Floyd talk like that!"

"Anybody knows a fight is a fight. Anything can happen in a fight especially when you have a guy who hits as hard as Conor does and when you have a guy who is as talented as Floyd."

Floyd Mayweather wants to be the next Steve Ballmer ... or Mark Cuban ... or Michael Jordan -- as in, he wants to own an NBA franchise.

The boxer says he had a meeting in L.A. with Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson on Thursday morning -- and when he left, he was more inspired than ever to make a play to own an NBA team.

"It's about time for me to buy an NBA team," Floyd says ... "If you're ready to sell your NBA team, please get in touch with me."

Floyd's made hundreds of millions of dollars during his boxing career -- but we're guessing he would have to team up with another financial partner (like Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush did) if he's serious.

Street ball legend Fly Williams -- considered one of the greatest street ballers of all time -- was arrested in NY after cops say he was running a multi-million dollar heroin empire.

The 64-year-old -- who was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the 1st round of the '74 ABA Draft -- has named the "kingpin" of the operation by the Brooklyn District Attorney.

He's facing 10 felony charges related to the alleged ring.

Law enforcement sources tell us prosecutors believe Fly was running a team of street dealers who were moving 2 million glassines of heroin at $10 a pop.

Cops have recovered $180,000 in cash and 2 KILOS of heroin.

18 arrests have been made in connection with the ring and face charges of conspiracy, operating a drug ring, drug possession and more.

Another huge milestone for J.R. Smith's baby, who just crossed the 6 POUND mark ... after weighing only 1 pound at birth.

The NBA star's wife, Shirley, gave birth to little Dakota "Kota Bear" Smith back in January after only 21 gestational weeks ... roughly 5 months premature.

But after a miraculous 122 days in the Cleveland Clinic Children's Neonatology Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Kota is making incredible progress.

"Our baby has made it to 6lbs today!!!" Smith wrote.

Serena Williams is teaching her fetus fiscal responsibility -- going on a late-night Dollar Tree run in Florida ... and TMZ Sports has the pics!

The tennis superstar strolled into the discount shop in Palm Beach around 9 PM in a maxi dress that showed off her growing baby bump -- and bought a bunch of inexpensive stuff!

We're told shoppers quickly recognized Serena and she was super cool -- and even stopped to pose for a couple pics.

And get this, we're told the multi-millionaire -- who's engaged to a super rich tech giant -- is a regular at the shop.

Here's Boston Celtics superstar Isaiah Thomas arriving in D.C. on Wednesday for his playoff game with the Washington Wizards ... but we couldn't help noticing the way he walked off the team bus.

Some people in our office thought it looked like a limp ... like he was favoring his left leg.

Others are saying he just walks with swag -- and maybe he was just tight from the bus ride.

LeBron James says he's never been target of racist taunts in Boston -- but he feels for athletes who have -- and says he's PROUD of the fans and athletes trying to put a stop to it.

The NBA superstar addressed the media after his Cavs stomped the Toronto Raptors in Game 2 of their playoff series ... and said the incident at Fenway Park with Adam Jones is a "delicate situation."

"Racism we know exists," said LeBron who also explained why it's important to talk about these matters in the media.
