Win lose or draw, Anthony Joshua always seems to come in for criticism.

So far in his 31-fight career, Joshua has lost only three times. The first was an upset against Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019 which he quickly avenged in December of the same year.

The other two were back-to-back 12-round contests against the soon-to-be undisputed heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk. Despite winning rounds on the cards and not being put down, many people claimed Joshua was done.

He has disproved that by coming back with four wins, three by knockout, and now he is to take on Daniel Dubois as he attempts to become a three-time heavyweight champion.

However, contender Jarrell Miller – who recently lost to Dubois – claims Joshua has only looked good in those fights because the opponents had no power.

Speaking to BoxNation, he was asked if he still thinks he will fight Joshua one day after missing out in June 2019 when he tested positive for banned substances late in the day.

“I think it still happens, but like I said before If I’d got that win against Dubois it would have been me against ‘AJ’ not Francis Ngannou against ‘AJ’. I think it still happens. I get a win under my belt and I’m top two, top three rankings and people want that fight.”

“Look who he’s fighting. He’s fighting guys who don’t really have punching power so it makes him a little more aggressive coming in. He’s fighting guys aggressive who he knows he can fight aggressively cause he knows they’re not scary. When he’s fighting guys who are scary he’s not going to fight the same way.”
