“Deontay Wilder Was Just the Belt Holder”: Jarell Miller Says Tyson Fury is On His List

Tyson Fury’s promotional team Top Rank recently welcomed Jarell Miller onboard. The deal materialized with Miller assuming that a potential bout with Tyson Fury is on the cards for him in the future.

Miller was booked to feature on the undercard of Fury’s title-winning fight. The American is now hoping to score a spot on the card of Wilder vs Fury-3. Which might eventually lead to Miller taking on Fury himself.

“I think it is [inevitable that I fight Fury]. I think that they were talking about it after Fury fighting Wilder again. And I was supposed to be the co-main event for that fight. I think that will be definitely in the future.”- Jarell Miller to SkySports

Miller did not walk out of the fight between Fury and Wilder impressed. In addition, Big Baby claims that even when the belt was with Wilder he was just a belt holder. However, Miller feels he has the recipe to break Fury down and take the win. Miller believes “when Wilder had the belt, he was just the belt holder,”.

“We didn’t see anything new from Wilder that we didn’t already know, I mean as a boxer and a student of the game. I’ve always said that he fights a guy that can box him, can take a pretty decent punch. It’s going to be a long night for Deontay.  And that’s what happened.”- Jarell Miller

“For me as a smaller guy or the shorter guy, I would be on his chest all night, the exact same way, even worse. I let my combinations go a lot better than these guys.”- Jarell Miller

The future as of now seems uncertain for the American boxer. It has been a long time since Miller stepped into the boxing ring.

The last time Miller saw any action was in November 2018, when he took on Bogdan Dinu. Miller took the win by dropping Dinu in the fourth round.

Miller was looking to take on Anthony Joshua for the IBF, WBA (Super), and WBO heavyweight titles. However, failing a series of drug tests forced him to pull out of the fight.

Therefore, Andy Ruiz Jr. stepped up at short notice and caused one of the biggest heavyweight upsets in history after stopping Joshua in seven rounds. However, the rematch that took place in December saw Joshua regain his titles.
