Brooklyn’s Big Baby
Jarrell Miller’s boxing is built around pressure and close-range combinations. The Brooklyn heavyweight turned professional in 2009 and worked his way into contention with wins over Gerald Washington, Mariusz Wach, Johann Duhaupas, Tomasz Adamek and Bogdan Dinu.
His proposed 2019 fight with Anthony Joshua never took place. He resumed professional competition in 2022 and later beat Lucas Browne.
Recent Contender Fights
Daniel Dubois stopped Miller in the tenth round in December 2023, handing him his first professional boxing defeat. Miller then fought Andy Ruiz Jr. to a majority draw in Los Angeles in August 2024.
He beat Kingsley Ibeh by split decision in January 2026 and outpointed Lenier Pero over twelve rounds in Las Vegas that April. The Pero win was scored 117–111, 117–111 and 115–113.
The WBA ranked Miller first in its September 2026 list but clarified that the Pero fight was not a final eliminator and did not make him mandatory challenger. Miller is 28–1–2 (22 KOs), with no next fight confirmed.
