New opponent to be announced to face Joshua
A new opponent for Anthony Joshua's June 1st heavyweight fight in New York will be announced next week, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
Joshua, the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world champion, had been scheduled to fight American Jarrell Miller but the New York State Athletic Commission refused to sanction the fight, saying that Miller had committed a violation relating to use of a prohibited substance.
Miller has denied taking a banned substance.
"I have NEVER knowingly taken any banned substance and when I found out the news last night I was totally shocked," Miller said on Instagram.
"Remember don't believe everything you hear and see. The facts will prevail and I shall be vindicated," Miller said.
"I don't have anything to hide and the truth will make itself known."
