Charr Considers Himself Best Option For AJ

Jarrell Miller continues to stand in limbo on Wednesday, as he awaits the results of a “b” sample of a March 20th VADA drug test.

In the hours after the “adverse finding,” many fighters have come to promoter Eddie Hearn to be the man who could potentially stand across from Anthony Joshua on June 1st at Madison Square Garden.

One fighter who seems to have jumped the line as the front-runner is WBA “regular” world champion Manuel Charr.

Dear Boxing Fans, Today it has been announced that Miller is doped and therefore the fight between him and Joshua will not take place. Miller was suspended by the VADA cause of doping. Now, internal negotiations are taking place regarding the fight in June Mahmoud Charr against Anthony Joshua. I am very happy about this task and the challenge. I’m ready to go to fight against Joshua and bring home the victory As the # 1 WBA and reigning world champion, I’m the most worthy opponent for Anthony Joshua. I am the suitable and official challenger. For Joshua’s honor, it’s important to fight against the # 1 WBA rankings in the world. Miller, who now fails due to the suspension, was number 4 in the WBA ranking. We will meet at eye level: world champion against Superchamp. I am ready to fight against him #teamdiamondboy #vonderstrassezudensternen @eddiehearn @anthony_joshua @mahmoudcharr
