ANTHONY JOSHUA has revealed that he got “battered” by Jarrell Miller during the never aired episode of “The Gloves are Off” – and is praying that Sky Sports never release the footage.
The American blew the chance to challenge AJ for the world titles in 2019 following a disgraceful drugs scandal.
Miller blamed the failed tests on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow.
He then received a contract with Bob Arum's Top Rank stable but again tested positive for a banned substance.
The second time around the former kickboxer put it down to a SEX PILL and was handed a two-year suspension.
Joshua eventually faced Andy Ruiz Jr instead in his US debut, only to suffer his first professional defeat as he was sensationally stopped in the seventh round.

But before that loss, AJ had time to get into a heated showdown with Miller before his late withdrawal due to the doping controversy.
And now AJ has revealed to IFL TV details of unreleased footage involving the pair as they met for a face-off on the hit Sky Sports show ahead of their later postponed showdown.
Joshua began rapping after growing tired of the trash talking – but it was a decision that came back to bite him in the backside.
The heavyweight stumbled through his final bars, AJ then found himself on the receiving end of a five-minute long verbal KO as Miller took him apart.

The 33-year-old said: “It was 1-1 in face-offs but I got battered. We had a freestyle battle. Miller has bars.
“I was just taking shot, after shot, after shot after shot… I was just thinking “this mother…”
“I hope they don’t show that, and if they do, I want some royalties.”
Joshua had previously joked: “I’m so glad our fight fell through.”
After serving the ban, Miller did enrol in VADA testing which saw his licence in Las Vegas reinstated.
He has returned in four bouts since and one exhibition on Floyd Mayweather's undercard, where he called out Tyson Fury, 34.
Meanwhile, Joshua will face Dillian Whyte in a rematch next on August 12.
