Eddie Hearn has revealed what went down between him and Jarrell Miller when the two went head-to-head at the December 23 press conference last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miller was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua for the Brit’s IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles at Madison Square Garden on June 1, 2020.<\/p>\n
However, Miller failed a series of\u00a0Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) tests in late March and served a six-month ban as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearn made the decision to move on from Miller – who\u00a0tested positive for human growth hormone, EPO and GW1516 – and set Joshua up with Andy Ruiz instead.<\/p>\n
Miller has never forgiven Hearn for walking away from him and made his feelings known at last month’s press conference in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eddie Hearn has revealed what went down between him and Jarrell Miller when the two went head-to-head at the December 23 press conference last month<\/p>\n
The pair came face-to-face for the first time in years as both AJ and Miller are set to fight on the December 23 card in Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joshua will be taking on Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin, while Miller will be looking to make a statement against Daniel Dubois.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miller decided to confront Hearn at the press conference and asked the Matchroom promoter why he never supported him like he did with Conor Benn.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Seconds Out about the conversation they had, Hearn said: ‘Miller came up to me and he said, oh you’re scared now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I went, ‘I ain’t f***ing scared of you. I know what you did.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He went, ‘Why didn’t you back me like you backed Conor Benn?’<\/p>\n
‘I said, ‘Because I don’t believe you.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘And he said, ‘Well next time when you’re in New York, I’ll have someone pull up on you.’<\/p>\n
‘And I said, ‘Go f*** yourself.”<\/p>\n
Hearn wasn’t the only person Miller confronted that evening. He also took aim at Joshua while on stage, claiming he would send the British heavyweight to the hospital.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They can all kiss my black ass,’ Miller began. ‘We all know for a start that AJ don’t want no smoke with Deontay. As much as I don’t like Deontay, I know he would put that motherf***** in the grave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘So I’ll make it easy for you Joshua – either fight Deontay and go to the grave, or fight me, and go to the hospital.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joshua was quick to snap back at Miller, saying: ‘Shut the f*** up. Miller, don’t start with me. You know I’ll come over and slap you.’<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old British heavyweight went to on to speak about Miller’s mother after referencing her at their last press conference in 2020. He said: ‘I see you’ve brought your mum here, she needs her rent paid.’<\/p>\n
Joshua finished by saying:\u00a0‘You’re not doing nothing to me. Watch your mouth, or I’ll slap it for you.’<\/p>\n
After the press conference, Miller shared that he was happy to ‘be a bully’ and planned on doing so ‘all day and all night’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
