Jarrell Miller's Promoter Says Boxer is Closing in on Title Shot
By Steve Kim
This weeks edition of 'ShoBox' from Rochester, New York features heavyweight Jarrell Miller (17-0-1, 15KOs), who faces veteran Fred Kassi. Ranked in top ten by the WBA, IBF and WBO, 'Big Baby' Miller is closing in on getting a title shot according to his co-promoter.
Greg Cohen, explained to BoxingScene.com,"After this next fight I believe Jarrell will be in a position, either in the WBA or WBO where he's going to warrant being an eliminator or fighting for the title. So they're not going ot be able to avoid him so it''s not going to matter if he's too dangerous for his own good if a title shot or eliminator is mandated."
Currently the WBA, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles are held by Tyson Fury, who is scheduled (at least for the time being) to face Wladimir Klitschko again in the fall.
"I believe Jarrell will be in a position where some kind of bout will be ordered - probably a 90 day time frame - assuming he is victorious against Kassi. So I would say Jarrell is going to be in a position where he's going to fight within 90 days of August 19th,"explained Cohen.
