Tensions boiled over at Jarrell Miller and Fabio Wardley’s press conference on Monday afternoon.
The heavyweight titans are set to square off for the WBA interim title at Ipswich Town‘s home stadium of Portman Road on June 7.
Two months before they exchange leather in the ring, Miller got the first shot in when he slapped Wardley at the scene of their future fight.
