Anthony Joshua Casts Doubt On Why Heavyweight Rival’s Fight Was Cancelled: “I Know The Truth”

Anthony Joshua has teased some inside information on the heavyweight scene.

The big-punching Brit is currently recovering from injuries and preparing for shoulder surgery before mounting a comeback, following a loss to Daniel Dubois in September of last year.

‘AJ,’ as one of the biggest stars in the sport, has options as to who he will face, one of which has been named as American Jarrell Miller. The pair have history dating back to 2019 when they were scheduled to fight but saw it canned when Miller tested positive for various banned substances.

Promoter Eddie Hearn recently said that the trash-talking Brooklyn native would be a potential opponent for Joshua should he come through Fabio Wardley. However, that fight was later pulled, with the promotion stating Miller was out due to an injury suffered during training camp.

In an interview with IFL TV, Joshua discussed the cancelled bout.

“And how come… I know why Fabio and Miller didn’t happen, but do you know why?”

When it was put to him that it was released that Miller had an injury, Joshua smiled and said that he had ‘the low down.’

“Is it? Okay. God damn. I could do your job better than you. Get me in front of the camera, I’ll give people the low down.”

Miller is yet to speak out on the cancellation or the injury.

Meanwhile, Wardley will now face New Zealand’s Justis Huni on the same date at the same venue – Ipswich Town’s Portman Road Stadium.
