Boxing World React To Anthony Joshua and Jarrell Miller Altercation

Anthony Joshua signalled the beginning of his US debut this week at a press conference in New York where the heavyweight champion came face to face with challenger Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller.

The two had met on stage previously in New York before the build up to Joshua vs Povetkin last year — so were already acquainted with one another so to speak.

A prevailing theme of the trash talk from Miller to Joshua has been surrounding Joshua’s own mother.

Surely a low blow. Even by boxing standards.

But Joshua dished it out back to Miller this week and at one point Miller shoved the champion on stage:
