“Obviously I would love to fight AJ, but at the same time he probably has a little bit of ring rust,” Miller told Fight Hub TV. “You have to give him some time, probably get one easy fight to come back.”
That line won’t go unnoticed given Miller’s history with Joshua. The two were set to meet in 2019 before the fight collapsed, costing Miller the biggest payday of his career.
He also aimed higher by mentioning unified heavyweight champion Usyk.
“He’s a big fighter, man. But when you get a bully like me, it’s no way to run and hide,” Miller said. “I want Usyk to come back, and I can beat him too.”
Whether one of the fights will take place anytime soon is unclear, but Miller understands that staying active in the heavyweight market means keeping his name to big opponents.
He also used the interview to praise Bozy Ennis, who recently joined his team.
“My last two fights, I was messed up,” Miller said. “Working with Bozy, working on shots and trying to slip shots. At the beginning it wasn’t there, but six or seven rounds in, it started coming.”
Miller added that he wants another fight in the next two or three months and hopes to come in lighter next time.
Heavyweights often talk after fights. Miller’s comments had more purpose because he needed the next move almost as much as he wanted this one.
