Frank Warren disses AJ and Miller over potential fight
Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has dismissed Anthony Joshua’s possible next opponent Jarrell Miller, declaring that he “means nothing” in his own country.
The veteran fight-maker is currently working on a rematch between his heavyweight Fury and WBC champion Deontay Wilder following their disputed December draw.
Meanwhile, Joshua’s representative Eddie Hearn has approached Fury with an alternative arrangement – proposing he fights Joshua on April 13 at Wembley – though Warren doesn’t expect this to come to fruition.
The 67-year-old told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on talkSPORT: “Regarding where we are with any negotiations with Hearn, I’ve not spoken to anybody from the Hearn camp.
“Eddie Hearn got in touch with Tyson and made a derisory offer and that was the last of it.
“It seems to me that they’ve lost the fight with Dillian Whyte, he’s been in the States talking to other promoters.
“He himself said he got a derisory offer, so I’m not sure whether they’re still going to go on April 13 at Wembley.
“And there’s talk of him fighting Jarrell Miller in the States, making his American debut, but Miller means nothing in America, he’s totally unknown.
