American boxer Jarrell Miller was due to fight British boxer Anthony Joshua, but failed Miller had tested positive for the banned substance
American boxer Jarrell Miller was due to fight British boxer Anthony Joshua, but failed Miller had tested positive for the banned substance GW1516 from a random VADA-conducted urine test.
However, Joshua faced Andy Ruiz Jnr for who replaced Miller and lost surprisingly after Ruiz was awarded a round 7 TKO victory.
Miller and Joshua have not been on good terms since 2019 when their fight failed, even though they are yet to box with many still expecting them to hit the ring.
Big Baby Miller, in a conversation with talkSPORT at the IBA conference in Turkey, revealed his disappointment over Joshua’s failure to accept his proposal.
“I’ve been training for about two and a half months.
“There is a possibility we could be looking at the Canelo vs Crawford undercard.
“AJ turned down the fight four times in the last month; he is looking for a tune-up.
“Sorry guys in the UK, AJ is a real bag of fart dust.” AJ is yet to respond to Miller’s insults, and boxing fans want Joshua to reply to Miller in the ring.
“This is my life,” Miller said. “But what I’ve done is I took a year out for the first time in 12 to 13 years as a professional, not including the amateur stuff.
“I took a year out to get my body right. I’m at a different stage of my career. I can look at time differently.
“I haven’t got all these years in front of me, so I’ve got to make an executive decision over what I do next.
“The minute I come back, I’m coming back with a bang rather than just keep rolling through, going through the motions,” Jarrel said. Miller wants to fight the crème de la crème in the industry and wants to fight the former world champion, Anthony Joshua.
“Let me take some time, and the time I do come back, I’m coming back fully active and ready to go, take the division by storm, he bragged.
36-year-old Jarrell Miller has boxed 26 times professionally. The American has won 26 with 22 from knockouts, drawing 2 and losing one when Daniel Dubois stopped him in 2023 in round 10 by knockout at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia.
AJ is expecting to revive his career with the much-anticipated bout against the retired Tyson Fury.
