Mickey Rourke has publicly challenged Elon Musk to a bare-knuckle boxing match.

The movie star said he would only need to use his left hand to beat seven shades out of the 49-year-old tech billionaire.

Writing on Twitter, 67-year-old Rourke said instead of picking on Johnny Depp, 57, the Tesla boss should have a crack at him.

He posted: "I just read that ELON MUSK has challenged Johnny Depp to a fight.

"I have the better idea if Elon Musk is in fighting mood he can fight someone his own size, i'd gladly love the opportunity to take you to school mr.tough guy Elon Musk.

"Bare fists,elbows and knees and i will only use one hand-my left. We can both put down $200k a piece, winner take all, no rules.

"So instead of picking on someone who weighs 130 lbs i am calling your ass out.

"Warmest regards, Mickey 'Marielito' Rourke." [sic]

It comes after Musk joked to The New York Times about the possibility of facing Depp in a cage fight.

This in turn was a response to Depp having threatened to 'slice off' Musk's penis, following allegations that the tech billionaire had been having an affair with the actor's ex-wife, Amber Heard.

The Pirates of The Caribbean star is currently suing News Group Newspapers over a Sun headline that claimed he was a 'wife beater' in the wake of allegations from Heard.

According to reports in The Mirror from the libel trial, the High Court showed a text message Depp had sent to his friend Christian Carino.

The text read: "I'll show him [Musk] things he's never seen before like the other side of his d**k when I slice it off."

Speaking to The New York Times, Musk was said he wasn't bothered about Depp's threats, joking: "If Johnny wants a cage fight, just let me know."

Conor McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, took to Twitter and offered his services to train Musk for a potential cage clash with Depp.

The 43-year-old Irish MMA coach wrote: "If you need a coach let me know."
