Is Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller done in the sport of boxing?

[Spicoli]

The incoherent Molly eating Frankenstein of pro boxing, there's your triller fight night. And that takes some doing . Miller should be banned and isn't going anywhere but they won't resist hyping up ties to Fury to promote. Good luck on the 1 AM ring walk vs a heavyweight Sakio Bika or resurgent Brian Minto.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is one of many people unhappy to hear Jarrell Miller is set to return to boxing on June 25 in Las Vegas.

‘Big Baby’ hasn’t fought since November 2018 as a series of failed drug tests scuppered his plans to fight Anthony Joshua and derailed his boxing career.

After a lengthy period away from the squared circle Miller will return on a Triller show next month, but Hearn believes the disgraced heavyweight should be banned from the sport for life.

“Some fighters I genuinely believe have made mistakes, some have just outright cheated,” he told talkSPORT.

“You have to understand, when he failed the drug tests for the Anthony Joshua fight he was injecting things into him to beat Anthony Joshua. That’s outrageous, that’s criminal.

“Ultimately, I don’t think he should be allowed to fight again but I’m not the governing bodies, I’m not the commissions.”

The chairman of Matchroom Sports insists he holds no personal grudge towards Miller but cannot accept blatant cheating, especially from someone who owes him money.

“I like Jarrell Miller,” Hearn said. “I think he’s a nice guy, but the fact is he repeatedly cheated to try to gain an unfair advantage in a fight against another athlete… And he owes me money, genuinely. And he will be paying me.”

Miller was due to fight Anthony Joshua in 2019, but his failed tests resulted in his place being taken by Andy Ruiz Jr.

The Mexican went on to shock the world by stopping ‘AJ’ inside seven rounds to become the unified world heavyweight champion, before surrendering his belts to Joshua in an immediate rematch.

Initially, Miller escaped any notable punishment due to a loophole in the US boxing system. As he did not hold a license at the time, Miller the 33-year-old was unable to be reprimanded by the New York state commission.

In 2020, Miller signed with Bob Arum and was set to come back against Jerry Forrest before. However, he tested positive once again and the bout was scrapped.

As the Nevada Commission had already licensed Miller for the bout he was handed a two-year ban from boxing that is due to end on June 16, days before his return to the ring.

did this guy just weigh in at three hundred & forty one pounds?

[Master]

JARRELL MILLER has weighed in a massive 341lbs for his comeback fight after a drug ban.

The Brooklyn heavyweight - known as 'Big Baby' - has piled on nearly two stone since he last fought in 2018.

Miller will return to the ring against Ariel Esteban Bracamonte in Argentina this week after almost four years out.

And he came in on the scales as 154kgs or in British terms more than 24 stone.

He weighed 36lbs more than his opponent in Buenos Aires this week.

And Miller was also heavier than the 335lbs which Hafthor 'Thor' Bjornsson came in at for his bout with Eddie Hall.

Miller will return to the ring this week as part of an ironically-named 'KO Drugs' festival after his ban expired.

He was due to face former world champion Anthony Joshua in 2019 at Madison Square Garden before Andy Ruiz Jr stepped in.

Miller has recently been in the UK to spar with Tyson Fury ahead of his win over Dillian Whyte.

Miller infamously failed three Voluntary Anti-Doping Association pre-fight drug tests - blowing the mega-money bout.

Another separate drug bust a year later has kept the former kickboxer sidelined and serving a backdated two-year suspension.

But the Nevada State Athletic Commission has voted to re-licence Miller as of June 17, so long as he continues to return clean tests.

Miller, 33, blamed his failed test before fighting Joshua on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow.

The heavyweight would in 2020 then get a contract with Bob Arum's Top Rank stable but again tested positive for a banned substance.

This time Miller put it down to a SEX PILL.

His drugs ban ended on June 16, meaning he is now free to box again.

Miller was due to be part of a Triller fight club event on Saturday night, but now will box in Argentina instead.

The WBA announced a two-event festival for this week in Buenos Aires to tackle drugs.

This is beginning to sicken me. If you are that desperate to come back after 2 BANS FOR DRUGS, then you either
A.) Love it so much you can’t let it go - in which case you surely come in shape………… OR
B.) you are desperate for money and cannot think of any other way to get it because your self esteem is non existent!
24 and a half stone ffs! Does he not have to pass a medical?
He could literally have a heart attack in the ring.
So seeing him at the weigh in , who in their right mind would pay one cent to watch this disrespectful cunt!!

[Spicoli]

Why Argentina of all places. Wonder what the elevation is over there. 4 years out, career high weight, coming off a system full of chems and obviously strictly training at Waffle house. If he doesn't mood smash his opponent in one I wouldn't be surprised if he's sucking wind and injuring himself. Deplorable farce this guy.

I half-read an article where it appears answer "B".

Supposedly he's penniless, and just want to provide for his wife and family.

Regardless, in boxing terms the guy's a joke... and should probably start thinking of other means of gainful employment.

The guy he's taking on is over 300 lbs too, this might set a combined weight record...what a time to be alive.
