CAIRO, Feb. 13 (SEE)- Anthony Joshua has announced his
long-awaited US debut against Jarrell Miller and vows to produce an explosive
performance at Madison Square Garden on June 1.
Britain's unified world boxing champion
was last seen when he knocked out Alexander Povetkin in September at Wembley
Stadium, extending his perfect professional record to 22 victories with 21
knockouts, and he next defends his WBA 'super', IBF and WBO belts against
Brooklyn's unbeaten 'Big Baby' Miller at the iconic New York venue.
On the big announcement Joshua
stated to the press "June 1st, I am heading to 'The Big Apple' and I plan
to embrace the culture and leave with an appetite for more," said Joshua.
"I will be fighting Jarrell Miller at the legendary Madison Square Garden.
"It has been an honour and a
blessing to fight at some of the best venues in the world at home in the UK,
not least Wembley Stadium, but the time has come to head across the Atlantic
and defend my heavyweight titles in the USA.
"I am looking forward to
taking on another challenge with a good boxer and a brilliant talker.
"It will be an exciting fight, I will leave nothing to chance, and plan on dismantling Miller in style to make my mark."
Joshua will follow in the footsteps of heavyweight greats such as Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and Muhammad Ali when he crosses the Atlantic to battle Miller at 'The Mecca of Boxing'. Joshua is also scheduled to fight in April at the Wembley stadium against an unknow opponent.
