Anthony Joshua Big Favourite To Defeat Jarrell Miller on June 1st
Published on March 10th, 2019 9:23 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel
On June 1st, 2019, Anthony Joshua will be set for another milestone in his career. That night, in front of a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, Anthony Joshua will be making his debut on US soil, as he will be attempting to defend his numerous Heavyweight titles against Jarrell Miller.
With a win against Miller, Joshua will almost certainly be setting himself up for a big money fight against the winner of the Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder rematch, which is set for later this year.
Anthony Joshua is undefeated with a record of 22-0-0, with 21 of those wins coming via knockout. This includes wins over the likes of Alexander Povetkin, Wladimir Klitschko and Eric Molina.
Joshua, however, is looking to break out in the United States, and will likely need to beat the winner of Wilder/Fury 2 in order to do so.
It's important that Joshua not look past the 23-0-1 Jarrell Miller, who is perhaps a tougher test than what some people may think.
Miller in the #6 ranked Heavyweight in the world, with wins over the likes of Bogdan Dinu, Tomasz Adamek and Johann Duhaupas.
Miller is certainly not a big name in the Heavyweight division, though he is certainly a most tough and durable opponent. Joshua should have his hands full in this one.

Anthony Joshua has a very big money fight sitting in front of him, though only if he can get past Jarrell Miller first. Will he be able to maintain his focus, or will he get distracted by the many millions of dollars that he would make from a fight against either Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury?
