Before he nearly lost a fight against Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury was wild, to say the least. Surprisingly, an old clip of ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury surfaced online, calling out Jarrell Miller with a challenge that can make one man $100,000 richer. The footage came to light ahead of ‘Big Baby’ Miller’s much-anticipated fight against Daniel Dubois tonight. So, it begs the question – did they fight?

While the duo have never met in the ring, they have much in common. Both are undefeated and a master at trash-talking, something that landed Miller in a recent verbal dual with Anthony Joshua. However, after Michael Benson shared the old clip of Fury on X (formerly Twitter), it has the boxing world talking. But the question is – What is the challenge?

In the video shared by Benson, Tyson directly addresses Miller by calling him out. He asked Miller to come to his gym along with $100,000 so they could fight. Tyson claimed the winner would take all the money. Moreover, the Londoner went on to assert that he dropped Miller in Lancaster, Lancashire before, and would do the same in Big Bear, California. Fury was even open to a bare-knuckle fight if need be.

“Jerrell Miller, get yourself up here. Bring $100,000 with you. Me and we will have a fight in the ring, winner take all, cash. I put you down seven times in Lancaster, Lancashire. I will put you down ten times, Big Bear, California. You fat p***k, get yourself up here anytime, anyplace, anywhere. You wanna spar, or you wanna bare-knuckle fight,” said Fury in the resurfaced video. With Tyson’s old clip out of the way, here’s what happened between Millier and Joshua.

Jarrell Miller: “I smell p****”

Miller was initially supposed to fight Joshua back in 2019, but things did not work out because the former tested positive for banned substances. Fast forward to a handful of days before the fight, the pair come across each other in a hotel in Saudi Arabia. That’s when Miller claimed Joshua would not fight Wilder next year.

When Joshua questioned Miller about the reason behind his belief, Miller stated, “You’re not going to fight him. I smell p****.” As the altercation intensified, both fighters threw verbal jabs at each other, seemingly disagreeing with each other. However, Joshua had the last laugh, stating, “Welcome to my show. Remember you’re working for me on Saturday night. I’m still your landlord.”

The first time boxing captured my attention, it was because of a line I heard in the film 'Rocky Balboa', a film surrounding boxing. The line went like this, "But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
