Promoter Claims Anthony Joshua And Jarrell Miller Have ‘Unfinished Business’ 

Anthony Joshua and Jarrell Miller were supposed to box in June of 2019 but it didn’t happen.

Miller ended up failing a drug test and ended up being replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr., who of course, scored a massive upset KO win over Joshua in Madison Square Garden. Now that Miller has served his suspension and can box again, Miller’s promoter Dmitry Salita believes the two men have unfinished business.

“Jarell needs maybe one more fight to be ready for Joshua,” Salita told BoyleSports Boxing. “Look at Tyson Fury, he had two very mediocre fights before he fought Deontay Wilder and gave him the fight of his life. There’s definitely some unfinished business. I saw Eddie [Hearn] say that Joshua will fight in December whether he wins or loses (the return with Usyk). Obviously, there’s a lot of bad blood between Jarrell and AJ. ‘Unfinished business,’ that could be the perfect title of the fight. It’s the perfect fallback plan if Usyk wins and Joshua needs a monstrous comeback fight in December with global appeal.”

Jarrell Miller made his return to the ring back in June as he scored a decision win over Ariel Esteban Bracamonte in his first fight since 2018. Miller is 24-0-1 and has notable wins over Bogdan Dinu, Tomasz Adamek, Johann Duhaupas, Gerald Washington, and Fred Kassi among others.

As for Anthony Joshua, he is set to rematch Oleksandr Usyk on August 20 in Saudi Arabia as he looks to reclaim his titles. Should he lost, perhaps a fight against Miller does make sense but whether or not it would happen is still uncertain.
