Heavyweight hopeful Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller - who is appearing on the latest edition of 'ShoBox' this Friday night against Donovan Denis from the Casino del Sol in Tuscon, Arizona - is a big believer in himself. Despite having a record of just 15-0-1 (13 KO's) he believes he will soon be ruling the newly revitalized division very shortly.
"Man, I'm taking over the game, point blank, period," he said confidently, on the eve of his next fight.
"I mean, these guys are mediocre and nobody got no flare to them, y'know what I mean? Deontay (Wilder) talk a good one but he's boring, like...just corny to me. Everybody feels the same way I feel and he's just fighting top fifteen, top twenty guys and it's just like whatever."
Last Saturday night at the Barclays Center, Wilder successfully defended his WBC title by stopping Artur Szpilka in nine rounds. In the co-feature, Charles Martin captured the vacant IBF title with a three round TKO of Czar Glazkov.
And don't try and tell the talkative native of Brooklyn that he isn't the future of the division. He is not on board with the experts who view Olympic gold medal winner Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15KOs) as the rising star of his weight class.
"I'm not a big fan of Anthony Joshua, either, I'm gonna break his jaw. Nobody stands out ot me or has any real flair. So this is my coming out year, period," says the 27-year old, who has experience in professional kickboxing.
