According to Dmitriy Salita, the co-promoter for heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller, his fighter is "definitely" gunning to land a crack at IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion Anthony Joshua in April 2019. Joshua is scheduled to defend his title on April 13 at Wembley Stadium in London.

He is 41 years old, past his prime time as an athlete, and there is no shortage of folks out there who think Tomasz Adamek shouldn’t be gloving up. At 53-5, the Polish fighting fixture, who turned pro in 1999, won crowns at light heavyweight and jumped to cruiserweight in 2007, and won a title there as well. He didn’t stop there; the Pole in 2009 went to heavyweight, and has stayed there ever since. He called it quits, at the end of 2014 after a loss to Artur Szpilka, but changed his mind, as warriors oft do, and gloved up again the following fall.
