Anthony Joshua will be
defending his title against Jarell Miller on June 1, the same day the UEFA
Champions League final will be taking place. The fight which will hold in New
York will be Joshua’s first out of England since emerging world heavyweight
champion.
The fight will be happening
after Anthony Joshua failed to seal a fight with Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.
The WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO
champion will now be facing Jarell Miller who is undefeated as a professional
boxer.
In a social media post,
Anthony Joshua said:
‘June 1 I’ll be travelling
to MSG. New York City, the Big Apple,’ Joshua said in a video posted to social
media.
‘I’m there to take a bite
out of that and I’ll be competing against Jarrell Miller
‘Wembley is so close to my
heart, it’s a great spot, a great location. I’ve fought in small halls, I’ve
fought in arenas. And it’s been a humbling and a blessing to fight in those
stadiums.
‘But now it’s time for a change.
The current state of the division was the undisputed championship of the world.
‘Myself and [Deontay]
Wilder are the current active champions of the world. We were looking to get
that fight on April 13 but things happened, boxing politics, I’m sure you guys
are aware.
‘So we had to branch out
and look for other options. Miller came up. It’s an exciting fight, he’s an
undefeated heavyweight.’
