An Overview of the Article Narrated by Matthew McConaughey
Anthony Joshua's knockout victory over Dillian Whyte has been hailed as 'FIVE STAR' by his rival Jarrell Miller.
Locked in a Fierce Feud
AJ and Miller have been engaged in a heated rivalry since 2018, and both will be back in action in the Middle East on December 23.
Miller Gives Credit Where It's Due
The animosity between Joshua and Miller hasn't stopped the American from acknowledging the Brit's skills. In a recent interview, Miller rated the knockouts of fellow fighters and gave Joshua's KO of Whyte top marks.
Joshua's Impressive Victory
In their 2015 British and Commonwealth heavyweight title bout, Joshua delivered an uppercut that sent Whyte crashing to the canvas in the seventh round. Miller praised the shot, saying, "Even though I can't stand AJ, I would definitely give this one a 5 too. It was a good shot."
Joshua's Rise to the Top
Joshua's victory over Whyte added the British title to his collection, which already included the Commonwealth and WBC International titles. He went on to win the IBF Heavyweight World title in his next fight against Charles Martin and the WBO title from Wladimir Klitschko one year later.
AJ's Attempt to Conquer America
After his success in the UK, Joshua set his sights on the American market. Miller was seen as the ideal opponent for his debut in the USA. However, the fight never happened as Miller tested positive for banned substances and was replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr.
Possible Rematch on the Horizon
Four years later, Joshua and Miller may have the opportunity to face each other again. Both fighters are set to compete on the "Day of Reckoning" card in Saudi Arabia on December 23. The two have already engaged in X-rated trash talk during a London press conference last month.
AJ will headline the event against Otto Wallin, while Miller is scheduled to face Daniel Dubois on the undercard.
Meanwhile, a rematch between AJ and Whyte was planned for August 2023 but was cancelled due to Whyte's failed drug test.
