The launch press conference took place on Monday, and it didn’t take long for things to heat up between the two heavyweights.
Miller revealed he had taken exception to a ‘diss track’ that he accused Wardley of making and had to be held back by security, though Wardley denied any involvement.

It isn’t the first time that ‘Big Baby’ has caused a fracus at a press conference, having famously pushed Anthony Joshua and caused a fracus during the media duties for their planned fight.
Ultimately that contest never took place, due to Miller failing a drugs test, costing him several years of his career. Since returning he has suffered a stoppage defeat to Daniel Dubois, whilst holding Andy Ruiz to a draw last time out.
As for Wardley, he heads into the fight with Miller on the back of a destructive first round knockout win over Frazer Clarke last year, after their first bout ended in a draw in a fight of the year contender.
The incident between ‘Big Baby’ and Wardley has seemingly added some spice to this summer’s battle, where the victor will hope to move towards world title contention.
