Heavyweight Powerhouse Jarrell Miller To
Return To Ring This Thursday In Argentina
On Thursday, June 23, at the Casino Buenos Aires in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, colorful and dangerous former top
heavyweight contender Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller will return
to action for the first time in nearly four years to face
Argentinean veteran Ariel Esteban “Chiquito” Bracamonte
(11-7, 6 KOs) in a 10-round showdown.
The fight, part of the WBA’s two-day KO Drugs Festival, will
also be broadcast live to South America and parts of the
United States on TyC Sports.
The undefeated Miller (23-0-1, 20 KOs) hasn’t been seen in
the ring since his KO 4 over then fellow contender Bogdan
Dinu to win the WBA-NABA interim and vacant WBO-NABO
heavyweight championships, streamed internationally on DAZN.
Laser focused on returning to his formerly high ranking in
the big man’s division, the 6′ 4″ Brooklyn native Miller
prepared for his return by sparring hundreds of rounds with
fellow prominent heavyweights, including a beneficial stint
as sparring partner for world heavyweight champion Tyson
Fury.
While Miller is in heavy final training and not in a mood to
comment, his co-promoters, Dmitriy Salita and Greg Cohen,
both say that a more mature version of the outspoken and
controversial “Big Baby” will be taking the ring walk this
week.
“I’m very excited about Jarrell’s return to the ring,” said
Salita. “He has matured and refocused to establish himself
at the top of the heavyweight division with his special
‘Brooklyn spice.’ Jarrell is more than ready to answer all
the questions, one fight at a time, inside the ring.”
“It’s been a very long time and I’m proud to say that
Jarrell has made good use of it over the last two years,”
added Greg Cohen. “He’s more focused and dedicated than ever
and will undoubtedly re-inject some more excitement into the
heavyweight division. It’s time to get to back to work!”
