AJ vs Miller Confirmed

“Good afternoon, evening everyone. June the 1st, I will be travelling to MSG.

“The big apple, i am going to take a bite out of that and competing against Jarrell Miller (Big Baby) for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

“I’m going to be defending my Titles in New York. Wembley is close to the heart, it’s a great spot, a great location.

“I’ve fought in small halls, i have fought in arenas and it’s been a humbling and a blessing to fight in the stadiums. But now it’s time for the change….

“The current state of the division was the undisputed champion of the world. Myself & Deontay Wilder the current champions. We was looking at getting the fight on in April 13th, but things happen, boxing politics…..

“So we branched out, looked at other options and Jarrell Miller came up. It’s an exciting fight…….”
