David Haye has phoned Anthony Joshua’s promoter regarding his June 1 fight.

The British boxer is due to fight against Miller at Medison Square Garden in New York on June 1, however, Miller could now face a ban after testing positive for GW1516, a substance which increases aerobic power and endurance.
Hearn stated that Joshua’s preparations for the fight continue, however, he will need to search for a replacement to fight with the Brit.
So Haye called Hearn to put forward his boxer-Derek Chisora.
“
I talked to Eddie Hearn today and he said he has had pretty much every heavyweight in the top 10 inundating him,” Haye told Sky Sports News
. “Everyone wants this mega payday. They know once they sign this contract they’re made for life. I believe Anthony Joshua needs an opponent who doesn’t get fazed by lights. An opponent who has got a history of challenging for world titles. For me, I got a call from Dereck Chisora this morning who has a fight on Saturday. Everyone wants this mega payday.
