Tyson Fury claims he floored Jarrell Miller seven times in sparring and sent him home after just one day
Gypsy King revealed he demilished hired Anthony Joshua's opponent 'big baby' during short-live 2011 sparring trip
TYSON FURY incredibly claimed he put Jarrell Miller down SEVEN times in sparring and sent him home after just one day.
'Big Baby' Miller will be heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua's next opponent at Madison Square Garden on June 1.
But Fury revealed he hired the 30-year-old as a sparring partner back in 2011, only to get rid of him after just one session.
The Gypsy King told : “I was back home in Morecambe and I needed a sparring partner, the first person that sprang to mind was Jarrell Miller, I thought he’ll be good sparring for me.
“Obviously I wasn’t a world champion at the time, he came over to Morecambe and we sparred at a local gym.
“I’m not going to go into too much detail, but I hired him for two weeks sparring, I ended up sending him back home after one day sparring.
"I put him down seven times in the first spar and I sent him home packing back to the USA."
Fury has long been demanding an opportunity against undefeated champ Joshua but is keen to see him take on Miller.
He said: "I think it’s a good fight. Two undefeated fighters and may the best man win.”
“I’m not going to sit here and slag it off, it’s a great boxing fight, defending a world championship.
“Jarrell and me go way back to 2011, he is a nice fella - I’ve known him for a long time.
“I wish him all the very best in the fight but at the end of the day I hope Anthony Joshua knocks him into next week, because he’s a British lad and I hope he wins.
