Jarrell Miller eyes Dillian Whyte

By Daily Sports on August 1, 2017

Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn says he likes the idea of a fight between his fighter Dillian Whyte and Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller. However, Hearn didn’t say when he wants to put Whyte (20-1, 15 KOs) with the unbeaten Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOs).

When questioned on the fight, Hearn spoke in a way that suggested that he would make the Whyte-Miller fight happen ‘one of these days’ but definitely not anytime soon.

Jarrell Miller looked sensational last Saturday night in stopping former heavyweight title challenger Gerald Washington in the 8th round on the undercard of the Adrien “The Problem” Broner vs. Mikey Garcia at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

“Dillian Whyte vs. Jarrell Miller is a great fight,” said Hearn. “I’m looking forward to him in that fight.”

Whyte is ranked #5 by the World Boxing Council and No.6 with the IBF. Hearn wants to get Whyte a title shot against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, but his $3 million offer was rejected by the “Bronze Bomber.

Wilder wants $7 million to fight Whyte. Hearn isn’t going to give Wilder his asking price What this means is Whyte will need to keep winning long enough for him to get ranked at No.1 with the WBC.

To get Whyte ranked No.1, Hearn is going to need to put him in a WBC title eliminator at some point unless the sanctioning body is willing to just slide him into the top spot without him doing anything.

“If he wants it in September and the money is right let’s make it happen,” said Whyte on his social media site.
