Dillian Whyte has issued a very firm warning to Jarrell Miller.

Whyte, who this coming Saturday night will face Dereck Chisora at the O2 Arena in London, has cautioned that he doesn't plan to deal with any of Miller's antics.

Miller will be ringside for the show - and the unbeaten boxer is no stranger to confronting potential opponents and verbally assaulting them in a face to face manner.

A few months ago in New York, Miller confronted unified champion Anthony Joshua at a press conference and the pair had to be separated.

If Miller attempts the same tactics in the coming days, Whyte will not hesitate to strike.

"As long as [Miller] stays away from me, we are cool. If he gets in my face and insults me, then something serious will happen. That I can guarantee. I haven't got bad blood towards him. But he has said things. If it's on, it's on," Miller told Sky Sports.

"If he disrespects me, I will hurt him badly."

Promoter Eddie Hearn, who works with both men, is hoping to avoid a potential punch-up between the two talkative heavyweights.

"Jarrell has said things to Dillian that didn't go down well at all," Hearn told Sky Sports. "[Their relationship] isn't pleasant.

I don't want Jarrell disrupting Dillian because I want Dillian to focus on Chisora. So I told Jarrell that - whether he listens or not is another story."

The winner of the Whyte vs. Chisora rematch is a frontrunner to face Joshua on April 13 at Wembley Stadium in London. But BoxingScene.com reported a few days ago, that Miller could become a potentially face Joshua in May or June - if the champion decides to change course and make his American debut at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
