World Boxing Council World Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has slammed ‘Big Baby’ Jarrel Miller for wasting a life-changing opportunity against Anthony Joshua.
The American was disappointed his fellow countryman Jarrell Miller has had his boxing license revoked after testing positive in a banned substance.
“I’m not disappointed because of the sport of boxing, I’m disappointed because he let his family down, he let his kids down,” Wilder said.
“He let a life changing opportunity slip through his hands and that’s what I’m mostly disappointed in, because of the family.” Wilder expressed.
“But when you get this opportunity, you hold this opportunity dear. With the opportunity he had to make the money that he was gonna make, I wouldn’t have been taking nothing.” He stated.
Deontay felt no sorry for Miller but rather his family and what he had lost because of the mistake.
“He talked about how he came up and living with roaches and having to add water to milk, just like a lot of our culture who have to go through the same thing. But when you get this opportunity, you hold this opportunity dear. The things that you know are going to get you in trouble, you don’t do it.”
Quizzed if Jarrell ‘BigBaby’ Miller should be given a second chance, the WBC heavyweight Champ responded
“Hell no. I don’t know what is going to happen to him.
He is not a likeable guy in boxing anyway. The people in boxing, the business side of boxing don’t like Jarrell Miller because of how he carries himself, the things he says. A lot of people are happy this happened to him.” Wilder said.
Many players in the pugilism industry including Legendary cornerman Frederick Steven Roach famed Freddie Roach are all calling for a life banned for Jarrell the ‘Big Baby’ Miller.
