The rumors have been confirmed that Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller 23-0-1 (20) will get his title shot on June 1st at Madison Square Garden, New York against Anthony Joshua. It’s not the most exciting fight of all time but I’d like to defend AJ and Eddie Hearn on this one and say it was the best choice they could have made. The fight ticks a lot of boxes in terms of Hearn’s promotional agenda, his obligations to DAZN and most importantly Anthony Joshua.
