Jarell Miller has claimed his proposed September fight with Jared Anderson is off.
Miller, arguably best-known for multiple drugs test failures, uploaded a video to social media to discuss his scheduled appearance on the September 13 Las Vegas card topped by Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford.
“Jared Anderson has officially pulled out of the fight. We all seen it coming though,” said Miller, who claimed the once-beaten heavyweight contender had “beef” with his promoter, Top Rank.
“Yeah, Jared Anderson pulled out the fight, so they’re looking for a replacement opponent. I ain’t gonna lie, I’m sick right now. But we figured Jared was gonna pull that shit,” the outspoken New Yorker added.
Miller is 26-1-2 (22 KOs). He had been due to fight Fabio Wardley in England earlier in the year but the fight fell out after an explosive press conference and Justis Huni stepped in to face the Englishman.
Miller has not boxed for a year.
He was stopped by Daniel Dubois in December 2023 and then boxed to a draw with Andy Ruiz last September.
Miller said former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was also offered the opportunity to fight him in September but declined based on grounds that Miller has previously disrespected him and that he “talks shit.”
Miller praised former foe Ruiz for his willingness to face anybody, but added: ”America’s dead. The promoters in America don’t give a shit about American fighters. The UK’s where it’s at, from what I’m seeing. Let’s see where Dana White goes with this league, because I’m excited for it.”
