Nigeria International Boxer, Anthony Joshua sent ruthless message to Miller’s mother over failed fight

Nigeria International Boxer, Anthony Joshua has taken the opportunity to send a message to Jarrell Miller’s mother when their fight collapsed in 2019.
The division’s unified king at the time was due to defend his three belts against the hometown challenger at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 1, but ultimately ended up facing Andy Ruiz instead as Miller failed three drugs tests.
Recall that Miller tested positive for GW1516, HGH and EPO in an unprecedented hat-trick of failed VADA tests, the likes of which boxing had never seen before.
As a result, he was removed from the bout and replaced by Ruiz.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel explaining the situation, AJ said: “I didn’t wanna talk too much on the situation with Jarrell Miller because it’s not in my character to knock a man when he’s down.
“However there was a lot of things he said previously, in the press conferences and the build-up, so I wanted to crack him in his jaw.
“The lesson to learn in this situation is karma works in various ways and what goes around will come back around.
“I feel like he has taken fate and his own blessings out of his own hands.”
Joshua and Miller clashed at their initial press conference as the American shoved the Brit in their face-off.
They then engaged in a heated war of words in which ‘Big Baby’ insulted Joshua’s mother, causing the champion to bite back by branding himself ‘the landlord’ and insisting he was paying Miller’s mother’s rent.
AJ even blew a kiss to Miller’s mother, who was in attendance at the presser.
As the fight never happened, the challenger missed out on a staggering payday – but Joshua reassured Miller’s mother he would be happy to take care of her.
AJ continued: “Good luck to the kid Jarrell Miller whatever he does with his life. As I said, I’m not gonna knock him when he’s down.
“But he doesn’t even deserve to be in the ring with me or any other heavyweight right now.
“June 1, MSG, still going ahead. The landlord will still come and collect his rent.
“And by the way, to Miller’s mum, ‘I still love you and if there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know’.”

Chelsea thrash PSG 3-0 to win FIFA Club World Cup
Palmer opened the scoring midway through the first half and struck again to make it two on the half-hour mark, before taking advantage of passive defending to set up Joao Pedro for the third on 43 minutes.

Cole Palmer scored two goals and made another as Chelsea stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup on Sunday, beating the European champions 3-0 at the MetLife Stadium to win the first edition of FIFA’s new competition.
PSG were the favourites for a game attended by Donald Trump after coming to the United States fresh from winning the UEFA Champions League and having destroyed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals.
But having been three goals ahead midway through the first half in the semis, this time the roles were reversed as PSG found themselves 3-0 down by the break.
Palmer opened the scoring midway through the first half and struck again to make it two on the half-hour mark, before taking advantage of passive defending to set up Joao Pedro for the third on 43 minutes.
A bad day for PSG was summed up when Joao Neves was shown red following a VAR review four minutes from the end for pulling Marc Cucurella by the hair off the ball.
It was a scoreline that few could have predicted as Chelsea capped what has been a long but memorable season — they are the first ever winners of the 32-team Club World Cup having also won the UEFA Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League.
They will also take away around $125 million in prize money, meaning the prospect of a drastically curtailed summer break before returning for next season will surely feel worth it.
For PSG, meanwhile, the financial rewards are similar but there will be genuine disappointment at falling short of adding this title to their Champions League triumph and French league and cup double.
Nevertheless, conquering Europe was always the main aim this season for Luis Enrique’s team, who now have exactly a month to digest this and take a holiday before returning to action in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur.
