Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller believes Anthony Joshua is a spoiled individual who is not really a product of the street.

Miller is scheduled to challenge Joshua for his WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO heavyweight titles on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Miller has been calling for this fight for at least two years, and now he gets his chance.

 

Miller was not Joshua's first, second or third chance.

Joshua's handlers made attempts to secure WBC champion Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and even Dillian Whyte - and all three were targeted for an April date at Wembley Stadium in London.

When those options fell out, the focus shifted to Joshua making his United States debut - and Miller became the prime candidate, due to his hometown being Brooklyn and his great ability to spew pre-banter to sell an event.

“He’s a privileged spoiled brat and I’m from the grit of the street, I was born for this,” Miller told Telegraph Sport.

“Everything I’ve got, I’ve earned. Nothing has been given to me like it was for him in the Olympics. Like I said before, he’s fighting a different animal.I’m 300 pounds of lean, mean, fighting machine. It’s Big Baby versus ‘G-String’ Joshua. He’ll get his knickers in a twist when I go at him.

“He’s definitely underestimating me a bit, because I wasn’t his first choice to fight. He didn’t want to come over with the money to fight me, but the [DAZN] network and (promoter) Eddie Hearn made it happen.

“He was kind of shocked by it. He’s never been in with nobody like me before. It’s hard to find sparring partners for me. A 300-pound guy that uses his body and throws as many punches as I do. It’s going to be impossible. When it comes to June 1, it’ll be a rude awakening.”
