Anthony Joshua nearly had a street fight with a controversial boxing star who claims ‘he backed down’

Jarrell Miller opens up about his confrontation with Anthony Joshua

Back in 2019, Anthony Joshua was scheduled to go to war against Jarrell Miller, until the American tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, which ultimately resulted in the cancellation of the contest.

However, before that news came to life, the pair filmed an episode of ‘The Gloves Are Off’ that never aired, which, according to ‘Big Baby’, nearly resulted in a brawl.

In an interview with Boxing Scene, Miller reminisced: “I said, ‘I’ll slap the s— out of you’, I was like, ‘Say I won’t slap you’. He never said it because I was going to slap the s— out of him.

“I’m always a madman. He was in New York and trying to act tough. Security, Eddie Hearn and Matchroom were trying to keep my team back, and his security guard was close.

“I had about 40 people down the block waiting to rush his whole squad. There was going to be some real Brooklyn s— in that motherf—– to tell you the truth, but we kept composed and he backed down like a little b—- as always.”

Deontay Wilder explains why it’s ‘on sight’ with Jarrell Miller

Joshua isn’t the only fighter who’s had issues with Miller over the years.

Deontay Wilder seriously dislikes his countryman.

The pair regularly throw verbal bombs in each other’s directions.

Prior to his win over Tyrrell Herndon, Wilder explained why it’s ‘on sight’ with Miller.
