As much as I don’t like Deontay, I know Deontay will put that mtherf****r in the grave so that’s easy for you even if fight Deontay go to the grave or fight me and go to the hospital.

Ruiz’s triumph, considered one of the most significant upsets in boxing history, marked Joshua’s dethronement during his US debut. It is noteworthy that Jarrell Miller could have been the one challenging Joshua, but he faced a series of setbacks with three failed drug tests—GW1516, HGH, and EPO—within three days. Consequently, Miller lost the opportunity for the most lucrative payday of his career.

However, despite these setbacks, Saudi organizers offered Miller another chance. While looking forward to a fight against Dubois, Miller seized the opportunity to provoke Anthony Joshua, highlighting the ongoing tension between the two fighters.
