Anthony Joshua has hinted he knows more than meets the eye about Jarrell Miller's cancelled fight with Fabio Wardley. The big-punching Brit suggested the official injury explanation might not tell the whole story.
'AJ' is currently on the sidelines, getting ready for shoulder surgery after his loss to Daniel Dubois last September. But that hasn't stopped him from stirring the pot about Miller, the trash-talking American he was supposed to fight back in 2019.
That fight fell through when Miller tested positive for various banned substances. Now, history seems to be repeating itself, but with a twist. Miller was set to face Fabio Wardley, but the fight got called off. The official line? Miller got hurt during training camp.
But Joshua's not buying it. In a chat with IFL TV, he dropped a bombshell:
"And how come… I know why Fabio and Miller didn't happen, but do you know why?"
When the interviewer suggested it was due to injury, Joshua doubled 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."
Joshua's comments have raised eyebrows, especially since Miller hasn't said a word about the cancellation or his supposed injury.
Meanwhile, Wardley hasn't been left high and dry. He's still got a fight on the same date, at Ipswich Town's Portman Road Stadium. His new opponent? Justis Huni.
All this drama comes after Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, had named Miller as a potential opponent for AJ, provided Miller came through the Wardley fight. Now, with the fight off and Joshua hinting at inside information, the boxing world is left wondering: what's really going on behind the scenes?
