'Go f*** yourself' – Eddie Hearn had heated clash with Jarrell Miller after Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder presser

Eddie Hearn has now revealed what was said when he clashed with Jarrell Miller last month.
The pair have been in a bitter feud through the media for over four years after previously working together.
Hearn promoted Miller and made him one of his first signings when he began staging shows for DAZN in the USA in 2018.
For his first marquee event, the British promoter brought Anthony Joshua to New York and picked the loud-mouthed American as the perfect opponent.
However, this all came crashing down when Miller failed multiple drugs tests and so was replaced by Andy Ruiz.
Miller has never forgiven Hearn for turning his back on him, while Hearn has never forgiven Miller for testing positive for PEDs when about to step into the ring with AJ.
After years of back-and-forth in the media, the pair finally reunited last month as Joshua and Miller will fight on the same card in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
AJ will face Otto Wallin, while Miller is set to take on Daniel Dubois. Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker is another big fight on the card.
At the press conference in London, Miller took the opportunity to confront Hearn to his face over the situation after four-and-a-half years.
This clash wasn’t caught by microphones, but Hearn has now told SecondsOut: “He came up to me and he said, ‘Oh, you’re scared now.’
“I went, ‘I ain’t f***ing scared of you. I know what you did.’
“He went, ‘Why didn’t you back me like you backed Conor Benn?’
“I said, ‘Because I don’t believe you.’
“And he said, ‘Well next time when you’re in New York, I’ll have someone pull up on you.’
