DEREK CHISORA has pleaded with pal Anthony Joshua not to give repeated drug cheat Jarrell Miller another chance.
Tyson Fury claims – instead of the overdue AJ shootout – he has secured a needless third fight with WBC, WBA and WBO king Oleksandr Usyk for April at Wembley.
That’s without knowing the outcome of the Ukraine king – who has dominated him twice already – rematching IBF boss Daniel Dubois in an undisputed decider on July 19.
If 35-year-old Joshua needs a late 2025 opponent, bloated 36-year-old Miller – who blew their planned 2019 New York bout when caught with a cotchel of steroids – is begging for the payday and does offer up a backstory.
But – at the IBA show in Turkey this week – Chisora confronted ‘Big Baby’ and told him to stop crying over cancelled fights that he is to blame for and to quit trying to goad Watford’s 2012 Olympic golden boy into the ring.
“Nobody else tells him the truth,” Del Boy told SunSport when we congratulated the 41-year-old on his stance.
“People need to start telling him the truth. He’s a good guy but he has this obsession of doing this thing.
“I don’t know why people do it but, when you do it, it’s not good because you are playing with people’s lives and you might end up killing somebody in the ring.
“It’s difficult because he has been given three chances and it’s hard to promote him.
“Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn have both put money into promoting him and he has had to pull out.”

It would be lovely to see Joshua punch holes in the Brooklyn blob – who has three public doping charges dating back to kickboxing in 2014.
But it would give Miller the sort of payday and platform that far more decent contenders warrant.
“He doesn’t deserve the AJ fight,” Chisora said. “He doesn’t deserve any shot right now, you have to earn your stripes.”
Miller spent three days in Turkey badmouthing Brit boxers like AJ and Carl Froch.
But when the Cobra and Del Boy confronted him, he melted in the scorching heat and made jokes and offered handshakes.
Chisora, however, called him out – when everybody else seemed too afraid to.
Staring down the freakishly fit 23 stoner, Chisora reminded him: “AJ offered you a fight, I offered you a fight and Fabio Wardley offered you a fight and you pulled out of them all.
“And now you are here crying that you want to fight all us UK guys. But the only person who has f***ed up is yourself.”
