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.
Miller took exception to a supposed diss track Wardley had written about him, and leapt to his feet early in the press conference to square up to his opponent.
“We are cut from different cloths,” said Miller.
“I was being really respectful, then he made a r***** a**** diss song ‘Big Baby Killer’.
“Where I come from, that is a death threat. I’m running you down, I’m coming to your face, plain and simple. I’m going to f*** you up.”
Wardley interrupted: “They call you Big Baby because you don’t shut the f*** up. You need a pacifier in your mouth.”
Verbal jabs were exchanged for a little while longer before they got into a shouting match face-to-face.
A sea of security then stormed the stage to break the pair up.
“Say one time, Big Baby killer, I dare you,” barked a furious Miller.
“That’s what fat kids do, they make tracks. I press people. Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, I pressed them.

“I go to people’s gyms and whip their a****. The only person who got over on me was Dubois because I took it on short notice.
“F*** him, you’re making a diss track about Big Baby killer, where I come from, it is a death threat.”
Wardley continually denied ever making a song about Miller.
“I don’t make music, so whatever you have ever heard, it isn’t me,” shouted Wardley.
“I haven’t done anything; if I did something, I would stand on it.”
Miller then lunged in and slapped Wardley in the face as hell broke loose.
Both men eventually took to their seats as the press conference ended without an official face-off.
