Anthony Joshua: Luis Ortiz will not replace Jarrell Miller as next opponent

Luis Ortiz will not replace Jarrell Miller as world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua's opponent on 1 June, the Cuban's promoter has said. Joshua was due to fight Miller at New York's Madison Square Garden - the British fighter's US debut. But Miller was denied a licence after an "adverse finding" from a sample taken on 20 March. King Kong Boxing accused Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn of using Ortiz, 40, as a "gimmick". "We just received news from promoter that it's a no-go and it was all a gimmick and Hearn's low-ball offers will not be accepted," wrote King Kong Boxing
