Jarrell Miller has given new meaning to being a heavy favorite. The heavyweight contender weighed in Friday at a career-high 317 pounds, an inordinate 90 pounds more than Tomasz Adamek (227), for their 12-round fight Saturday night in Chicago. The 30-year-old Miller (21-0-1, 18 KOs) weighed roughly 13 pounds more for this bout than his previous appearance, a 12-round, unanimous-decision defeat of France’s Johann Duhaupas on April 28 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (304¼ pounds).

Tomasz Adamek is 41 and hasn’t produced a noteworthy win since he edged Steve Cunningham in their rematch almost six years ago. A much younger, fresher Jarrell Miller insists he still hasn’t overlooked the Polish veteran ahead of their 12-round fight. Miller expressed respect for Adamek during a press conference Thursday in Chicago to promote their battle Saturday night.
