Jarrell Miller claims Tyson Fury is 'very interested' in a fight with him, makes Anthony Joshua fight prediction
Fury vs. Hall: Only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Jarrell Miller has been unusually quiet since his dominant decision win over Lenier Pero at the end of April. But now, "Big Baby" is back roaring and making noise on who he would like to face in his return to the ring.

First on the Miller callouts in a recent interview with PlayUK were former heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. It is rumored that Fury will return before his scheduled megafight with Anthony Joshua. Miller (28-1-2, 22 KOs) claims Fury has an eye on the American heavyweight.
"I am one of the most avoided heavyweights for a long time," Miller said. "We’re seeing that now. We’re trying to call Deontay Wilder out. He has no fight coming up. I’m the top heavyweight in America right now, so we’re trying to make some things happen. Let’s see if he’s going to bite the bullet.
"Tyson Fury is very interested as well. I’d love to fight those guys. Deontay or Tyson would be a lovely fight for me. Let’s see if we can make it happen."
Up to this point, Fury hasn't revealed or given any hints of an opponent if he decides to take one more tune-up. Wilder was a name Miller and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, brought up wanting next after the Pero fight, as it's the biggest fight to make in American heavyweight boxing. Despite numerous challenges by Miller, it's a fight Wilder hasn't taken in the past for unknown reasons. But it's still a fight Miller wants, regardless.
"Anybody that’s willing to get in there and throw hands has something in the tank," Miller said. "He’s still dangerous regardless. But I’ve been asking him to fight for years, so if he’s got old overnight, that’s his problem. I’m still going to punch him in the face. I don’t think Chisora was the same Chisora that fought Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin. Sometimes fighters get old overnight. Maybe he wasn’t as motivated for this one like he usually was. I don’t know.
"I did expect a little more from Chisora in that fight, but it is what it is. Wilder got the win, so it’s better for me now. I’m going to try to make a big American clash, and we duke it out."
A name that always comes out of Miller's mouth when discussing fights is bitter rival Anthony Joshua, who returns to DAZN on July 25 against Kristian Prenga. It's a fight Miller expects Joshua to win and then he'd like to get his crack at 'AJ'.
"I haven’t done too much homework on Kristian Prenga. I hope AJ wins so I can punch him in the face," Miller said. "Anybody with two hands has a chance, but let’s see. I’m not really looking forward to it, but I’ll tune in to the highlights on Instagram. AJ by knockout, early rounds.
"You’re only as good as your last fight, and his last fight was against Jake Paul. So let’s see, when he fights a real contender, what’s going to happen now. Prenga will put up more of a fight than Jake Paul, 100 percent."
