Rising American heavyweight Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller is '"not a fan" of Anthony Joshua and wants a showdown with the British champion.

Miller (15-0-1-KO13) is adamant he will soon be at the top of a flourishing division and has criticised the likes of Joshua (15-0-KO15) and WBC world champion Deontay Wilder (36-0-KO35).

The 27-year-old New Yorker, who takes on Donovan Dennis (12-2-KO10) in Tucson, Arizona on Friday, said: "Man, I'm taking over the game. Point blank, period.

"I mean, these guys are mediocre and nobody got no flare to them, know what I mean? Deontay talk a good one but he's boring like... just corny to me. Everybody feels the same way and he's just fighting top 15 or top 20 guys and it's just like, 'whatever.'

I'm not a big fan of Anthony Joshua. I'm going to break his jaw. Nobody stands out to me or has any real flair.

"I'm not a big fan of Anthony Joshua, either. I'm going to break his jaw. Nobody stands out to me or has any real flair. So this is my coming-out year, period."

Miller, who has experience in professional kick-boxing, has stopped his last four opponents inside three rounds.

In June 2015, Miller took less than two rounds to stop Detroit's Damon McCreary, who was previously halted early by current world champions Wilder and Charles Martin.
