Jarrell Miller is slow, he can’t beat me even on his best day, says Anthony Joshua
Unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has said that Jarrell Miller is no match for him and can’t defeat him even on his best days.
The 29-year-old who is holding three of the four major championships in boxing said of Miller’s bluster “It’s just jealousy in my opinion.
“Just hate for no reason. I respect my opponents. But if they disrespect me, they get the worst of me as well.”
WuzupNaija reports that the boxers had a very tense face off during their first press conference on Tuesday.

Miller aggressively shoved the British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer which garnered mixed reactions on social media platforms.
“My view on the whole situation is they’ll appreciate you when you’re done,” Joshua said on Tuesday at the Garden.
“So right now I’m just going with where the best opportunities are and I’m making the right decisions for the long term.
“I’ll beat up Jarrell Miller, and what that then does help me do is say to Wilder: ‘Look, if you don’t want want to come to the UK, you’ve seen what we’ve done in the US, so let’s work on having it here on both of our terms.”
Joshua, unbeaten in 22 professional bouts further said “I’ll be deadly serious: Jarrell can’t beat me, even on his best day,”
On Tuesday alone Miller accused Joshua of being “fake”, an “Uncle Tom” and a “giant pussy” – and that was before it got personal.
The 2012 Olympic champion was quick to brush off Miller threat by pointing out that
“He’s slow,” “He’s not a puncher. Ex-kickboxer. Probably be better off in the NFL. Substance abuse. Got caught on PEDs. I can’t really respect that, so talk is cheap. I’m just going to back that up in the ring.”
He added: “I keep hearing about his stamina and that he’s a pressure fighter. A fighter gets tired when they get hit, and he gets hit a lot. It doesn’t matter how good his stamina is. If I keep on punching – his jaw, his body – he’ll soon fade. He’ll soon find out what it’s like.
“The best chance he has is to land a big right hand or a big left hook, but that’s not really going to happen, so he’s going to get beat.”
