After almost three years, Anthony Joshua finally managed to achieve triumph inside the ring. The Briton is now being challenged by Jarrel Miller after defeating Jermain Franklin.
On April 1st, AJ entered the ring at the O2 Arena in London, UK, with renewed vigor. Throughout the twelve rounds of intense action between the two heavyweights, AJ prevailed over Franklin on points. The two heavyweights engaged in a hard-fought battle, and Anthony ultimately prevailed and 989 Assassin suffered the second consecutive defeat of his career.
Congratulations Champ! @AnthonyJoshua.

What did Jarrel Miller say to Anthony Joshua?
Joshua has already expressed his intentions to face Tyson Fury after defeating the American. However, another American heavyweight boxer named Jarrel Miller called out the British boxer immediately. Miller posted a video with a harsh call-out message addressed at the British just one day after Joshua’s comeback triumph.
“Hey, showing nothing but AJ landing good shots. Only eight shots AJ even had with a decent right hand, holding on with the left hook over the guy’s head and throwing them sh**ty a*s right uppercuts,” Miller said.

Jarrel is still undefeated in his professional boxing career. The 34-year-old boxer made his pro debut in 2009 and since then he fought in 26 bouts and won all of them. All of Miller’s victories came in knockout except only four. The Brooklyn native has been looking forward to fighting Joshua for a long time now.
“AJ, you’re still a bit*h . Anyone knew they smelled p***y, first it was me. I knew you were a p**sy from day one, you were a bi*ch. You could fight me any day, I’m a fat man right now, so let’s just make it happen.” Miller added.

‘Big Baby’ also took a jab at Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Anthony Joshua by asking him to stop playing games and make this fight between him and AJ happen. Joshua is yet to respond to Miller’s call out. However as it seems from Anthony’s pre and post-fight interviews, the former unified heavyweight champion is aiming to seal a deal with The Gypsy King next.
