Jarrell Miller challenged to a duel Anthony Joshua after his most remarkable victory in four years. In April 2019, Miller was suspended from a three-time heavyweight title fight with the then undefeated Joshua after testing positive for several illegal drugs.
It's not yet clear if Joshua will seriously consider the idea of ​​retrying Miller (26-0-1, 22 KOs), but that didn't stop the American from questioning the former champion's courage after Miller stopped Lucas Brown in the sixth round of their match on Saturday in Dubai.
“I want [Daniel] Dubois or AJ,” Miller said in the ring after defeating Brown. — We have unfinished business. He must pull himself together and accept this responsibility. He can no longer keep his balls in his pocket. If he wants a fight, let's do it. He wants easy victories. He fights Jermain Franklin after losing and I think Jermain defeated Dillian Whyte. So, AJ, let's continue. Stop being a jerk."
Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) will return to the ring on April 1 after losing his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk via split decision on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Joshua will face Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs) in a 12-round DAZN non-title bout at the O2 Arena in London.
The 34-year-old Miller's victory over Australian Brown (31-4, 27 KOs) was his third since he resumed his career in June last year after serving a two-year ban for another failed doping test in June 2020. The 150-pound Miller stopped the 43-year-old Brown in the sixth round.
Brown has become Miller's most formidable opponent since he knocked out Romanian Bogdan Dinu in the fourth round in November 2018 in the United States.
