Jarrell Miller and Anthony Joshua never miss an opportunity to go at each other.

But, it seems AJ may have wanted to squash the beef following their most recent exchange.

The pair went at it at a recent press conference, as they will be fighting on the same card on December 23, with Joshua taking on Otto Wallin, while Miller will clash with Daniel Dubois.

Afterwards, however, Miller says Joshua called him to apologise. He told Fight Hype: “He trying to call and apologise and there ain't nothing to talk about man.

“He called my publicist, the same day after the press conference. Ain't nothing to talk about man."

Miller continued: "If you want to talk business about a future fight then yeah we can talk then, but until then we aren't going to be friends until I punch you in the mouth.

“It's like that thing at school you got guys you don't get along with then you fight and you become best friends after that.

“But, until I touch his chin ain't nothing to talk about man."

Their beef dates back to 2019 when the pair were due to fight, but Miller failed a drugs test and the fight was called off, with Andy Ruiz Jr replacing him.

And it appears they still don’t get along, as at their recent press conference, Miller addressed Joshua and Deontay Wilder who is fighting Joseph Parker on the same card, saying: “They can all kiss my black a**.

“I don’t like none of them motherf******, but one thing I can tell you is that, after I finish with Dubois, I definitely want Manuel Charr [WBA ‘Regular’ champion], because he’s got that belts.”

He continued: “I tell you one thing though, we all know for a fact that AJ don’t want no smoke with Deontay.”

Joshua then clapped back, saying: “Shut the f*** up. Don’t start with me.

“You know I’ll come over there and slap you, and I see that you’ve brought your mum here again.”

But, Miller wasn’t done there, as he added: “I almost kicked your a** last time. We all know AJ don’t want no smoke with Deontay.

“As much as I don’t like Deontay, I know Deontay will put that motherf***** in the grave.

“So I’ll make it easy for you, fight Deontay and go to the grave, or fight me and go to the hospital. Either way you’ll get your a** whooped.”

Joshua finished by aiming a threat at Miller, saying: “You are not doing nothing to me. Watch your mouth or I’ll come over there and slap it for you.”
