Joshua at Miller Boxing : AJ's US debut on Box Office

NEW YORK - March 1, 2019 - PRLog -- The Heavyweight Champion of the World Anthony Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) and undefeated Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller (23-0-1, 22 KOs) of Brooklyn, New York will meet to discuss their highly-anticipated heavyweight bout in a press conference in London. Joshua will make his United States debut, and defend his WBA Super, IBF, WBO, and IBO Titles against the dangerous and undefeated Miller on June 1 at MSG.

It did not take long for tensions to rise at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, as Jarrell Miller would shove Anthony Joshua at the start of the press conference for their June 1st title fight.

The unified world heavyweight champion would somewhat take it in stride, but would match the aggression of the Brooklyn born boxer, nearly inciting a brawl between the boxers, their camps, and Madison Square Garden security.


"This is a true boxing success story," said the elated Cohen. "When Dmitriy and I agreed to partner up on Jarrell's career, I knew it'd be a long road. But we both saw something special in him."

And so, the pair set about securing ever-growing opportunities for their fighter, at first in anonymous club shows in boxing's remote locales and later, as Miller continued to win impressively and gain momentum, in a series of important televised showcases that led to this.

"Jarrell has been perfect," said Cohen. "He told us early on he was going to win the heavyweight championship of the world and he's done nothing to shake our belief in him. He has promised to tear up everyone put in front of him and then gone out and done it over and over. He's a special fighter and a privilege to work with."

Both Salita and Cohen are having career years as promoters. In addition to Miller, Salita Promotions handles the career of women's superstar Claressa Shields and welterweight smashing machine Shoh Ergashev. Shields is scheduled for the biggest women's boxing showdown in history against German fellow world champion Christina Hammer in April. Ergashev will be putting his fearsome power on display on ShoBox: The New Generation this weekend.

Cohen, meanwhile, continues to build on his reputation as a top-level scout of raw talent. Miller marks potentially the third time Greg Cohen Promotions has gotten in on the ground floor of an anonymous raw talent and brought them to a world championship. New Mexico-based former world champion Austin Trout and current WBA Middleweight Champion Rob Brant were also brought up through the ranks from out of nowhere by Cohen.

Brant will make the first defense of his world title this weekend in Minnesota with potentially huge super fights looming on the horizon should he win.

"GCP is an overnight 10-year success," laughs Cohen. "We've had many setbacks and disappointments, but in the end it's all been worth it to see truly dedicated and talented fighters like Jarrell and Rob make the most of their careers. I'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish."

And getting Miller to the big fight is just the beginning, according to Cohen.

"Joshua and his people are thinking this is their man's big debut in the US to help him gain popularity over here and generate interest in a future fight against Deontay Wilder. They think they're just going to walk over him easily. That's not what's going to happen."

According to Cohen, Joshua has the types of flaws that will make him an ex-champion against Miller.

"Anthony Joshua has not been the same since the Klitschko fight. You can reach him. He's been fortunate enough to recover and win so far, but against Jarrell Miller, if he can touch you, he's going to knock you out. Jarrell's chin is made of iron. He's going to still be there in the middle rounds when Joshua starts losing steam. And sooner or later, he's going to hit Joshua like he's never been hit before and it's going to be all over. Americans will own the heavyweight division once again after June 1."
The winner of the fight will not only walk out as the WBC heavyweight champion but will also get to face Deontay Wilder. There's no doubt that the Gypsy King will enter the ring as a huge underdog. Additionally, Wilder will be fighting in his homeland.

AJ's US debut on Box Office

Miller plans to make his 300lb presence known to Joshua, promising that the unified title holder will 'crack like an egg' when they face-off in front of the watching media.

"I know he knows what's coming," said Miller. "I don't know how much of it he can take.

"I guarantee it, you are going to see him crack like an egg."
