It’s three months to the big heavyweight showdown at the Maddison Square Garden, New York, and Jarrell ‘’Big Baby’’ Miller believes Christmas will come early for him when he takes on world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua.
After months of failed meetings and proposals to Deontay Wilder, for an undisputed championship bout, Joshua has settled to fight American heavyweight, Miller, on June 1.
For most fans of the sport, this is a step down for Joshua, who should actually not be caught fighting an up-and-coming star like Miller.
However, Joshua needs a fight to keep his titles, and the American is more than willing to take a swing at the champ even if the odds are strongly against him.
Big Baby, who is well-known for his irresponsible use of swear words has used every chance he’s got to get on Joshua’s bad side — with his prolific use of cuss words to both the champ and his family.
In their recent meeting at the conference for their June bout, Miller, took it a step further when he greeted Joshua with a two handed shove to the chest, before they were both separated.
“I’m home. I’m ready. You have no idea. I breathe, eat, sleep Anthony Joshua. I have a screensaver of Anthony Joshua. I wake up and think about Anthony Joshua. I see my mother go through some stuff that none of you would survive. I grew up in a third-world country [Belize]. I see my family starving with no shoes on their feet. This is bigger than a fight with Anthony Joshua. It is bigger than me. It is bigger than money.”
— Miller
There is no doubt that Miller runs on a copious vocabulary, however, the real question is, can the American back it all up when he meets king of heavyweight boxing in a ring?
In his response to Miller’s strong outburst, Joshua likened the American’s punch to a fairy’s touch.
“I am going to throw this jab down his throat. For a guy that is 300 pounds, he punches like a fairy.”
— Joshua
Joshua also predicted a fourth-round knockout victory as both men kept on exchanging words.
