Desperate Hearn offers Whyte double-your-money £4m to fight Joshua at Wembley as ‘Big Baby’ Miller reveals no talks have taken place

The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight will defend his belts on April 13 with a host of boxers in contention

EDDIE HEARN claims Dillian Whyte has been offered over £4million to face Anthony Joshua at Wembley on April 13.

The Body Snatcher, 30, told SunSport earlier this month he is unlikely to fight AJ next after turning down a "stupid offer" to avenge his 2015 defeat.

Joshua, 29, had been seeking a fight against WBC king Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury, with Whyte seen as plan B.

And with the Bronze Bomber and the Gypsy King ordered to fight each other following their controversial draw last month, the former British champ has been offered a new deal.

Replying to a fan on Twitter where he said Whyte should accept £2m, Hearn replied by saying: "Double it."

While he also added in separate tweets that the 30-year-old has been offered more than Alexander Povetkin, with his package totalling over £4m.

Unbeaten American Jarrell Miller has been earmarked as a potential opponent for AJ, but the Brooklyn brawler has cast doubt over facing him.

He told World Boxing News: “There have been no new developments.

"I have not had any discussions about a possible Anthony Joshua vs Jarrell Miller fight.

“I saw some reports about the Joshua v Miller fight being possible for DAZN in June.

"But I haven’t communicated with Eddie (Hearn) about this possibility.

“I have nothing to comment on at the moment."

Miller also accused the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion of being "scared" to fight the best in the division, stating he "stinks of fear".
