It's been rumored for weeks that Belizean-American top ranked heavyweight contender Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller would have a shot at the world's Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
But, if you follow the reports, the fight has been on one minute, and off the next.
However, this evening, CBS sports news is reporting that Joshua has, quote, "agreed to terms for a defense of his WBA, WBO and IBF world titles against fellow unbeaten Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller." End quote.
It will be Joshua's U.S. debut and the fight is scheduled to take place at the boxing mecca, New York's Madison Square Garden.
The report says "the bout will likely take place June 1 or June 8th.."
Now, while that's what one report says, our friends in Miller's camp tell us the fight is not confirmed as the details still have to be worked out.
But if it does come through on agreeable terms, it would a huge break for Miller - a shot at the world title, and a major profiling opportunity for Belize whose flag he proudly carries. Miller has been asking for the fight since 2017, daring the smaller Joshua to take him on. Miller crashed a news conference in New York last year and needed to be held back from attacking Joshua.
