Jarrell Miller vs Mariusz Wach tomorrow night: Both big guys talking KO, brutal fight
The stakes may well have risen for tomorrow night’s already interesting heavyweight clash between unbeaten contender Jarrell Miller and the experienced Mariusz Wach. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who may or may not sign Miller up (and co-promote along with Dmitry Salita and Greg Cohen) says that if “Big Baby” puts on a big show he might just get a crack at Anthony Joshua next year (if the Wilder and/or Joseph Parker talks stall).

Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller says he can “drown” Anthony Joshua in “any round”
Unbeaten Brooklyn bomber, or “Big Baby,” Jarrell Miller is in action this Saturday night, against another big guy in Mariusz Wach. Miller, one of the most prominent trash-talkers in the game today, is chasing a world title shot and the man he really wants to get in a ring with is WBA/IBF ruler Anthony Joshua.
Speaking with Sky Sports once again, Miller, 19-0-1(17) questioned both Joshua’s mental strength and the fact that he has gone from 220 or so pounds at the start of his pro career, to 254 against Carlos Takam just over a week ago.
Miller vs. Wach quotes for Nov.11
EDDIE HEARN: This big fight on November 11 is very important in the heavyweight division. Jarrell Miller is making big waves is the US right now and of course in the world rankings and Mariusz who has been, for a long time, they come together and they meet in a pivotal clash on November 11. Both guys are looking for a chance at the world title. While this is not an official eliminator for the world title, one thing is for sure, the winner, I believe, will fight for a world title and the loser will not. This is a huge for both of their careers and is part of a huge show with Danny Jacobs headlining against Luis Arias in a great fight and Cletus Seldin against Roberto Ortiz.

Unsung Gems in the Ring
Throughout boxing history “big” names have always garnered mass attention, searing themselves in social memory. Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Mayweather, Jones Jr., Pacquiao, De La Hoya and Mosley were, and still are, huge names both in and out of boxing. However, while they captured the headlines, and deservedly so, there were quite a few guys who deservednotoriety who either received their just due a little too late or never received it at all. Fighters like Winky Wright, Vernon Forrest, Lamon Brewster, Ricardo Lopez, Mike McCallum and many others are sometimes forgotten in conversations about great or exciting fighters from certain eras.
